For the past 4 days I have been participating in a Mitsui global training program, which was held in Fuchu, Japan exclusively in English!! Here is my team from around the world. Some had English skills that were better than others, but it was still a nice change from all of the Japanese I usually hear :)
From left: Tag (Mitsui Nagoya), Matt (TF NA), Jerry (Fraser Wharves Canada), Sagar (TF India), Li (TF China), Fred (TF Europe), and KG.
We were paroled from our training facility "prison" a couple hours early for good behavior, and they took us to Happo-en Garden in Tokyo to experience beautiful Japan nature and a tea ceremony. You may recall that this is the same place that Jess and I visited on our tour of Tokyo in April, but here's a few new photos!

Team TRANSFREIGHT was Awesome!
These koi carps were unbelievable in size!! Some were at least 36 inches long and look very well fed! I was also impressed that they came in many colors: orange, gold, yellow, white, black, and spotted!
KG takes a rest by a stone lantern.
(Does anyone remember the other 4 elements of a Japanese garden?)
Gorgeous waterfall (element #2). Still hard to believe we are in the middle of bustling Tokyo.
Tag and Matt on the bridge (#3) over the koi pond (#4).
KG surrounded by rocks (#5) of beauty!

These pics are cracking me up because we are all in our work clothes, yet we are sightseeing like tourists :)
I'm glad that Mitsui let's us mix work and fun occasionally! Back to reality on Friday!
