Sushi and Seminars

Japanese Class First Week

              During my first week in Japan, the adaptation to the environment and specifically to the life style of Tokyo was quite interesting and challenging. It’s the small things like the vending machines and trash cans that are just so different (Pictured below).

            I was pleasantly surprised at how well prepared all the Intrax activities were here in Tokyo.  The  support that the staff gave us was awesome.  We had training lectures for the first 7 days about the current Japanese economy and the vision of the business leaders. They were excellent, and were really helpful before starting our internships. We also had a Japanese language class in this first week. It was one of the best that I’ve ever taken. It specifically teaches the Japanese language that one needs to break into the working world.

                            Also, I realized that it is very different to go to a place as a tourist than as an employee or a businessman. For this purpose this orientation week was excellent. After a week I was able to compare myself with other foreigners in Japan and see how well I was doing thanks to this week.

          Of course we had some fun too. After the lectures were over we went to the more lively areas of Tokyo such as Shibuya, Shinjuku, Harajuku, etc. We experienced the traditional Japanese Karaoke and had a blast. And, there is no other place in the world better than Japan for eating sushi.
