2nd Year, Done

Hey guys,

I officially have been here for 2 years. Woohoo! *Balloons and confetti fly down from the ceiling above my desk* It's official, I got my paper today, a contract for the renewal of my position. Man, in a year, it'll be 3 years here. It's hard to believe, but it's true. Well, thanks for reading this. Now, I don't want to waste any more time- between studying, looking at options for my future, and reading up on Starcraft 2, I've quite busy, even though it's all office days here.

See you!
Greg

I can't believe you've been there for 2 years! Crazy! Although I was just celebrating the fact that Cadence has been in DC for 2 years, and the day we met I brought her to your goodbye party, so... I guess I shouldn't be surprised? But I'm glad there are still blog updates, and we should really start up the life update emails again soon :)

About Me

Hi, I'm Greg, but you can call me by my Japanese name, Gureggu, if you'd like. I'm writing this blog to explain effective ways to do business with Japan and Japanese companies. Why? Japanese companies are notoriously difficult to understand, and doing business in Japan has a unique set of hurdles.

Why I'm qualified to write about Japan: I have worked in Japan for a total of 8 years. I worked sales at a Japanese import/export company (subsidiary of a much larger corporation) as the only foreigner in the company. Before that, I taught for 2 years at High Schools and 3 years teaching elementary and middle school in Aomori Prefecture. I have lived the life of a salaryman and experienced firsthand the institutions that shape Japanese people in their most formative years.
