Making Friends in Another Country

I visited 10 countries already. Although others had been to more places, I think all my trips were special. I talked to the locals and tried different local dishes. I made a lot of new friends, but Gary was the most memorable.
I met Gary at a youth hostel in Tokyo. He’s a backpacker who left Corsica, France, just a year ago to travel the world. He grew up there, but one day he decided to try something new.
Corsica lies in the Mediterranean Sea. It’s one of the 18 regions of France. I was charmed by just listening to Gary’s stories. When he showed me the photos, I wanted to book a flight to Corsica right away! The place is truly breathtaking and inviting. I will surely go there soon.

My Summer Hobbies

Summer is my favorite season. I can do many things during this time. I help my grandfather with gardening. He does it every morning. My mother also wakes up early to clean the house and cook. She asks me to do light tasks, like washing the dishes and wiping the windows. After that, I play soccer with my friends. Then we eat kakigori. It’s so refreshing!
We live in the southern part of Japan. I also go to the beach to collect pebbles. They’re tiny yet smooth. Their colors are interesting. I keep them in a jar, but my brother also loves playing with them. He arranges them by size. He’s so playful and cute. These are some of the things I do during summer. I hope all my friends are enjoying, too!

Millennials and B2B Marketing

In a B2B Report on millennials published by Sacunas (2016), it describes millennials as “digital by default”. Although this statement can be made through mere observation of practice and trends, businesses need concrete evidences to support such idea in order to logically strategize. The most important channels for researching new products and services are search engines, vendor websites, and social media for 56% of the millennials (Sacunas, 2016). In addition, social media is used by 85% of millennials to look into products and services for their jobs
and companies.

According to a survey conducted by American Press Institute (2015), 88% of millennials get news from Facebook. While Ronnie Charrier (2016), a Social Media Strategist, mentioned in his article “Millennials And Social Media: It’s More Complicated Than You Think” that millennial women are more likely to use Instagram than Snapchat and Twitter.

Videos are believed to be the most effective form of online content and social media (Sacunas, 2016), contributing to improved memory recall. It’s then safe to assume that the majority of millennials are visual learners. Since millennials are after transparency, values, relevancy, and engagement (IBM Institute for Business Value, 2015), companies should only create and release meaningful and exemplary online content for better branding.

The balance between hard work and nightlife makes the city unique, while World Heritage Sites are still actively preserved in different prefectures. Japan appears to be an alloy of the old and new. Kyoto is famous for temples and shrines. Nagoya, despite being an industrial city, has a gem in it–the Nagoya castle. Osaka is known for the Universal Studios, but people can also see there the Osaka castle and other tourist spots. Hakone, located at the foot of Mt. Fuji, is popular for its fine hot springs.

Business Trip

My alarm clock rang at exactly three in the morning. I slept for only 4 hours since I had to finish my presentation. I felt a little nervous but I momentarily forgot about it when I saw a kid running after his rolling ball at the airport. An old lady stood near where the ball stopped and she gave it back to the kid. The young boy held it tight.
I’ve come to realize that second chances are possible but rare. I should be spending more time preparing than worrying about what might go wrong. I must give it my best shot because this trip may open doors of opportunities in the future.
