It's not that we had fallen off the earth.... Quite opposite. This past week Kayo managed to complete her small mission in keeping our U.S.-Japan relations in tact. We only mean that Kayo didn't screw up badly translating for the delegation from our sister city in Japan. And we got to meet quite a few new and interesting people both from Japan and around here.
Joe mostly played a good translator's husband role, but for the "sayonara" party he became a hero, bringing a warm plate of fresh local fish to eat. That early morning Joe and his dad went fishing and caught lots of fish! (Of course, I had to work....) A great catch of the day!!

Which city in Japan is the sister city? How did you end up being the traslater for those delegates?? I want Joe's fish too!
ReplyDeleteTo answer your questions...
ReplyDelete1) Higashiomi in Shiga, which is a neighboring Prefecture to my home.
2) I'm one out of not so large Japanese population around here and happened to meet someone who was looking for a translator.
3) As for fish, you gotta come visit us during our trout season!!
