Thanks to Morito san, I got my chance to make it on my first trip to Japan. And special thanks to Kelly for bringing me around.
It was a one-week Sales training trip to visit my company HQ and factories.
Training representatives from Singapore were Kelly and me.
The training was to start from Tokyo, to Fukui, Yokaichi and finally end in Kyoto.
As the training was from Monday to Friday, we could extend over the weekends to explore personally in Tokyo and Kyoto.
The weather was still cold because March is the season where winter is turning to spring, and the daily weather will be unpredictable.. sometimes cold, sometimes warm.. So we gotto pack winter wear into our luggage. Carrying a large luggage makes it difficult.. however, luckily the company had arranged luggage transfer for all trainees during our transfer for the whole trip, hence making it easier for us.
