ProZ.com powwow: A holiday in Japan

August 26, 2009, 6:30 pm
JapanTokyoIn personEnglish
Hallo! I will be on holiday in Japan with my partner (a lawyer, but also a part-time translator) for 2 weeks. Though Japanese does not belong to my working languages, I would like to meet fellow translators, and have a nice Japanese meal and chat. We'll be arriving in Tokyo on the 24th of August. Looking forward to meeting you :-)

confirming Aug 18, 2009

Hi all, sorry if I did not post for a long time, but I have a heavy workload to complete before vacation. Well, we booked an accomodation near the Ikebukuro station, and I guess we'll be pretty lost... Can you recomend a nice place where we could meet? Of course a Japanese restaurant, mid-range would doicon_smile.gif Thank you for your kind help!

Hi, Paola

I would recommend a Japanese restaurant in the name of Sushi Restaurant Kitahama.

http://r.gnavi.co.jp/g067014/

This restaurant is inside of Tobu Department Store.

I will see you on the lobby floor of your hotel, then let's go there together.

Please let me know if you prefer other cuisine, then I would recommend others if you like, although there are many choices for you... See more

Hello Paola and Ken and all the others, Aug 19, 2009

So, the Powwow is on August the 26th in that Sushi Restaurant. Is that right? I'll try to be there. When does it start? And do you need a kind of help or something else? I would like to do something.

alternatives Aug 21, 2009

I would rather suggest a venue in Ginza, either a yakiniku or a horse meat restaurant, a sushi-ya doesn't offer an atmosphere suitable for a long exchange.

Anyway, I am afraid we can't join, it looks we will have to work until 8:00pm on Wednesday, zannen!

Have a great time.

Dear members, Aug 23, 2009

I just wonder, what is with our powwow.
I would like to propose two restaurants. Both are at JR Shinanomachi Station.
1. is Mori no Beergarden; very relaxing atmoshere, but a bit expensive. It is in the middle of greenery with big trees and even a waterfall and just 3-5min from the station.
2. if it rains there is in the station at the 2nd floor a nice italian restaurant, normal prices .
I propose we meet at 17:00
please write what would you like to do.

hey ken, Aug 23, 2009

I see. So you propose this sushi restaurant. I guess, it is nice. But I would also like to know, which time is best for everyone to meet. I guess, people also have to work and so on. How about 18:00?

Dear Gertraud Aug 23, 2009

I basically agree with you on the proposed hour to get together at 6 PM. I like to know the name of the hotel Paola is staying. I believe that it's better to get together on the lobby floor of the hotel before ging to the restaurant.

Ciao!
