2017 Weekly Writing Log, Part Twenty-Two
Jun. 18th, 2017 09:29 pm- This week I did my job. It was not unpleasant, but not easy either.
- I wrote a 5,000 word report regarding my business in Akita.
- I was really surprised to find that some of the questions I was asked to answer in my report reflected weird American stereotypes concerning Asians ("Did you find that [people] were able to voice their opinions instead of acting according to group consensus?") and the Japanese ("Were [people] unnecessarily cruel in any situation?"), so I had a long (to the tune of about four thousand words) email conversation with my liaison in which I requested that this racist nonsense be rectified.
- I wrote a slightly different version of the report in Japanese that weighed in at about 4,000 characters.
- I got invited to visit the North American headquarters of Nintendo in November. I accepted this invitation, OBVIOUSLY.
