I’ve become Salaryman
by James in Japan, Travel on January 10th, 2009
It’s been forever since I’ve posted on lomohut, this is my first time since being back in Japan.
As more than one person has told me, I’ve accomplished what I set out to do. I’ve graduate, and gotten a job in Japan, that’s not teaching english! Moreover, I started just over 2 weeks from my graduation. Not a bad turn around time in today’s economy.
The question immediately comes up, what I am doing. The answer is really, whatever is needed, as I don’t really just do one thing. Right now, I am working on helping the company launch and market it’s new iPhone Game business. This means web development for their site and utilities, writing copy, etc.. In the future though I should also be programming some iPhone applications for them.
For right now, I am still staying with Yumi and her family in Shounandai because it gives me time for all the proper paperwork to finish going through, figure out where I want to live in Tokyo, and find the right place.
Unfortunately, since I am working i n Tokyo, it won’t be in a place like this:

Hi James – It is so great to be able to sit here at home and log on to your website and see what is going on with you WAY over there. I imagine being in Tokyo is much better than Dallas!! So glad everything worked out. Do you communicate all day with coworkers in Japanese? Talk about total immersion. Talk about being fluent in your second language. How about writing at work? Japanese? Love you
