Japanese food is tasty

I got to Komaki-shi, in Aichi ken near Nagoya last Wednesday. Jet lag ended about Saturday. Church was awesome on Sunday, I realized how much I missed church in Japan. I live in the dorm for Daifuku the company I am with and I just love the food. I look forward to every meal to see what interesting ways they can cook fish and the tsukemono and the salads and everything. I'm pretty tired now but I have been keeping an audio and written journal and I still need to get to that. I heard that Travis R. (ok to put name here? - you know who you are) is in Gifu. I went to a YSA activity in Gifu after church and ran into 2 missionaries that were in my mission. I was just as surprised as they were. It was there I was told that Travis is in Gifu. If you are contributing to this then I want to hear from you. I don't have a cell phone, does anyone? I have a skype account but haven't had the opportunity to call the USA. I had to use a public phone last week to contact a member to teach me where the church building is.

At work they have me translating manuals right now using a program called WordFast. The full time translators in the office use Trados and they have the interns use WordFast. I am getting the hang of it now after my 2nd full day of learning to use it but today it has been a major pain because of database issues. If anyone knows a lot about it then I have questions. Trados is about $13K from what I was told and Wordfast runs about $3K. My boss says if I can make the time to do then he wants to me make a Wikipedia like dictionary for our team with the words we use a lot in translation that we can access over the intranet. I really want to do and I could with the proper amount of time but it will take a lot of time. I might be able to get things started but it would be perfect for my major and I've already a lot of that on my own so I'm up for the challenge, I'm just not very familiar with Linux.

I hope to hear from everyone else!
