Goodbye Shingo's Up-Mountain-San

My favorite teacher is leaving! How will I continue teaching next year without her? Oy vey iz mir... She's been at Shingo for at least 9 years. She's seen countless classes and ALT's, is great to work with, and has wonderful ideas. It will be very sad to see her go. We have our last lesson on Tuesday. Zannen, but perhaps she'll be replaced by another great teacher, so you never know!

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.
