Present location: Yokohama, Japan
Present occupation: I am currently working for PR firm in Tokyo, Japan. Most of the clients are of Japanese companies, but some are American/European companies. I have been translating press release and communicating with overseas clients as well as doing my regular work. One obvious point is that things that I learned as French major help me in translation. Aside from that, I can find perfect expression/word to express how I feel, although this is just a form of self-satisfaction, and cannot share this feeling here, because nobody around me speaks French. And what I like to do is to read the same book in English, French, and Japanese. It is quite interesting for me to see the difference between languages, how translator decided to change certain words or to phrase a sentence.
