Training in Vancouver

The journey has begun, I arrived in Vancouver yesterday after my wonderful uncle drove 2 hours from Seattle to drop me off. The first day was exciting, we had some introduction concerning working for a Japanese company and adjusting to life in Japan. The second day we reviewed the text books that are used by the company and other materials that the company produces. The end of the second day was pretty stressful, I had to teach a real student at a local school. Not to be redundant but it was pretty stressful and I began to sweat whenever I ran into a problem (which happened multiple times). I'm learning a lot of about being part of a large organization and the role that I have to play in order to stay off the radar. The other teachers at training are really nice, some of them are a little strange but that's to be expected of people that want to spend a year in Japan. The trainer is a little strange and his smile seems fake. But he's very smart and knowledgeable about the company. I'm thankful to have him as my trainer, he is a great source of information to have.
I leave on Friday for Japan where I will be picked up from the airport by a school representative. After that I'm heading either to my school to meet everyone or to my apartment to sleep, I'm not sure yet. It all depends on whether the teacher who's spot in taking has evacuated the apartment or not. Actually, last night I received an email from the departing teacher telling me that the students are very excited to meet me. It makes me a little nervous, I hope I live up to their expectations. I guess we'll find out.
