A one day business trip

This Wednesday I had a one day business trip to Fukuoka and Hiroshima, and I could enjoy stimulating times. Since 2007 I have been working in planning and administrative section, so I usually work in my office. This April I planned to go to all domestic branches annually, because my division has five branches including Sapporo, Sendai, Nagoya, Hiroshima and Fukuoka and I should communicate directly with branch’s manager and employees, because direct communication is important to improve our project. I went to Nagoya branch in August then I went to Fukuoka and Hiroshima this week. Fukuoka and Hiroshima are far apart, but I went to both area on one day, because my division avoids useless spending then all sections endeavor to cut the cost. Therefore I recognized that it is matter of course to go the multiple area on Wednesday on business trip.

This Wednesday I wake up at 4:30, left home at 5:40, board the airplane at 7:30, arrived at Fukuoka at 9:20, had the first meeting from 10:00 to 11:30, had the business lunch at 11:45, took the bullet train at 12:30, arrived at Hiroshima at 13:40, had the second meeting from 14:00 to 15:00. In addition I went to the electric power company and observed their huge command computer system which has twenty meter wide screen and manages all Chugoku-area. Because my classmate works in the power company and he invited me.

Finally I met my company’s branch manager again at 17:30 and had small business dinner, boarded the plane from Hiroshima at 20:30, arrived at Tokyo at 22:00 and I returned my home at 23:00. I was a little tired, however I could enjoyed stimulating times.
