disease when you become elderly!! That aside, Great Barrier Reef was awesome and I want to go
back there again in the future. TMI lol
For now, I'd like to discuss the cultural differences between Japan and Australia in terms of business,
talking about my trip, Carins.
when I decided to go there, I was also dying to sign up for a tour of Great Barrier Reef because that
was what I wanted to do in Australia. So I signed up for a tour to an uninhabited island called
Frankland. On the day, when I waited for a navigator in the morning, one Japanese female picked up
me. She started to explain about the content of the tour in Japanese, not English. And she kept
explaining fluently it for another Australian people in English. I was surprised because she was so
fluent in English and worked as a translator. I felt she was alien cuz there were not any other
Japanese staffs on the tour. Yes, she was only Japanese female working on that tour. Basically in
Japan, there are not good translators on the tour. In my opinion, usually, Japanese tour does not
consider about foreign visitors in terms of language. That is why, personally, Japan will need to
focus on the help for foreign visitors in order to serve more comfortable tour. And more and more
young people might be asked to get a high skill of English to communicate with foreign people.
Therefore I'm studying English now haha.
That's it. Thank you.
