I really want to spend time in Japan, in high school my mom and I hosted students from Kakuda High school in Miyagi prefecture and we became close friends. Now I hope to visit Japan to get more experience with the language. Financially, want are some suggestions? Also, how did you finance activities like backpacking through multiple countries at a relatively young age?

How has the pandemic affected cross-cultural communications between Americans and Japanese people, in your experience? Have you noticed changes in how these cultures communicate in your workplaces?

With Japan’s big population, how have they been fairing with Covid recently?

Thank you for this presentation

Do you have any suggestions for students who want to study abroad? Finances, making connections, language barriers, etc

Did YKK provide you with training to make the transition to corporate? Are they good with this if you have other language and cultural skills?

Any thoughts about where African Culture(s) and Japanese Culture are alike or otherwise?

1. What’s the most important lesson you learned in language learning?2.Do you plan to learn other languages and what strategies do to plan to implement?3.What’s you best networking advice?

Thank you so much for the advise and recommendations! I appreciate the wisdom.

Japan is also changing, more and more Japanese companies are encouraging their employees to work fewer hours and offer more flexible schedules where employees can come in later if they worked late the day before for ex
