I came back from Boston and NH yesterday.
It was such a long flight, but it was not as hard as I was worried. Though I couldn't get an isle seat on the way back...that was kinda hard. And the meals in the planes! They really killed me...how can people cook such...untasty thing..?

The business in NH was really...hard, to be honest. lol
Interpreting as a job is really really hard. I felt it with all my nerves. No wonder interperters earn 100,000yen per day!
You have to totally understand what one person says, and tell it simply and efficiently to the other person, on time.
You always have to concentrate on the conversation. Your nerves can't have a rest even a second, then you'll miss a word.

Anyways, I don't think I could be much of a help, but I guess I could help a little.

People in the company we visited were really sincere and kind. We could have big rib steaks and nice cold beer in NH. Yummy.
Also, the colleagues I went with were really nice. I went there with three colleagues, who are all older than I. Well, one boss was...kinda disappointing.., (shhh) but the other two engineers were really nice. They are kind, smart, and hard working - not like me!

I found out that the city of Boston was a little different from that I remembered. When I was taking a walk in downtown with my colleague late at night, I felt it a bit dangerous...I asked my friend living in Boston about it, then he said the crime rate is rising. Too bad...I hope Boston keeps its peaceful atmosphere.

I'm going to take a nap now. I couldn't really adjust myself to US time while I was there, so it's not hard to be back in Japanese time again.

I don't know what I'm writing about...nighty nite..
