this and that

Monday, Satoshi had his second tour guide job.

The person that assigns him these jobs is so disorganized which is disappointing because the company itself is quite large and well known.

He was told (the day before) that he would greet guests at a hotel desk (which is why we went to check it out) and help them figure out where to go for the day but it turned out all the guests already had their plans and just needed help to find transportation

He said it was so chaotic because they had to also clean up the COVID antigen tests that the passengers had to take before gallivanting, ick!…so he didn’t get to eat lunch until 16:00!

Tuesday, he and some of his coworkers were invited to the Australian Embassy for the Embassy's Spring luncheon under their cherry blossom tree (which was why we went to check out where it was)

It rained in the morning so they were all under tents for most of the event.

Changing the subject, have you ever been on the Hozu River boat ride in Kyoto?

When we lived in Kansai, we've always wanted to try but never got around to

They had a scary accident the other day.

So sad the man that steers the boat fell overboard and died and there was one crew member missing who they found yesterday, unfortunately he died also.

Changing the subject again...WBC Samurai Japan fever is still going strong...

Hope you have a safe weekend.

sure hope things smooth out for Satoshi! Unfortunately, sounds like they are learning to get back in the swing after COVID and poor Satoshi is the tail end.
I was reading about the boating accident. So sad. I guess it is more dangerous for the crew because they stand while the passengers are seated.

V, the thing is everyone is supposed to be wearing life vests. apparently the type these people were wearing were not the proper type.

Take care!

Wow, I have been on that boat tour. It was during the fall, and the water was pretty calm and the scenery beautiful.

K and S said...

me too Rowena.

Jalna, I think the rains the couple days before made the river kind of rough

Take care you two.
