Yo! Drew here, the newest
addition to the StrapyaNext International Team! I will be helping
contribute to this blog for the foreseeable future, so let me fill you
in on some of my first experiences in Japan!!
It would have been a daunting task to try and navigate the complex train systems of Japan by myself. I've never left the United States before, but fortunately, my translator and guide, Kosuke Fujii-san helped me make it to the city of Odawara (StrapyaNext's base of operations) safe and sound!
Everything has been fantastic here! The food is awesome, the people are extremely kind, and I have never seen cleaner streets among major business districts in my lifetime. From tall buildings to bright lights to an amazing ocean view, Japan has many things that I would love to get used to!
There was a tsunami that hit Japan on Friday night! Fortunately my location in Odawara was largely unaffected. However, I sincerely hope that there weren't any casualties and hope for the well being of everyone in the area.
On Saturday night, Fujii-san took me to Shinjyuku, a part of the greater Tokyo area. There were more lights and sounds around than I had ever experienced in the states! The buildings were lit up everywhere, and I didn't see a structure shorter than 10 stories anywhere! One arcade had 5 stories of a huge building dedicated to a multitude of games. Maybe I'm just used to the simpler life.
Once I got used to the vertical nature of the structures of Japan, I got to see some differences in the functionality of different places of business. For example, the hotel room I was allowed to stay in has one faucet that controls the water in both the sink and the shower! What a space saver!! Then on Saturday morning, Kobayashi-san, Mihirogi-san, and Fujii-san took me to a driving range. I personally am used to a cart driving around to pick up the used golf balls, but here in Japan, the range was located on a large slope, to the point where golf balls rolled back down a hill, and no one had to drive around to collect the excess!
Today was my first day on the job, and I'm extremely fortunate to have co-workers that are being very helpful and kind to me! Fortunately, I am learning things that I can do to contribute to the well-being of the company.
But ANYWAYS, enough about me. What about you? Do you have any ideas that you would like to have in a cell phone case or accessory, like maybe this one??
