Hello from Aichi Ken

Its Carl again from Komaki. I have been keeping my own blog and podcast at http://90daysinjapan.blogspot.com/ so I haven't been writing here. Last week I got to go to the demo factory in Shiga for daifuku. It was amazing to see all the different automatic warehousing machines. It will help me understand what I am translating. Up until today I have been working on a 65 manual and learning to use Wordfast the translation program. I basically finished the manual today. There are a lot more features that I can learn in wordfast but I've learned all the useful ones that I needed to learn. Today they moved me to a different floor so I can translate for a team that does Visual Basic programming. I will be going through the code and translating it into English. This is going to be a lot of work.

Hello from Tokyo

Hi Everyone,

This is Matt, writing from Yotsuya in Tokyo. I am interning at Deutsche Bank this summer and I started last Monday. My first week went well and I have learned quite a bit--both things related to Deutsche Bank, and also about how to live in Japan. I think that this summer will provide a very rewarding experience, both professionally and culturally. I don't really know many people, so if you are in Tokyo and would like to do something on the weekends, let me know.

I hope everyone is having a great week and enjoyable time in their respective internships/teaching assignments.
