I started to become busy again because tourists finally came back.
Now I have a week to prepare for upcoming tours and interpreting jobs.
Once April starts, non-stop!!
Last week, I went to Tsukiji Fish Market. I had to wake up very early.
I stayed at hotel in Tokyo at night before because I was not in time for the tuna auction even by the first train.
A shop of a tour leader's friend bought a huge tuna fish. We had a chance to see dismantle it.
Then at last, we all tasted slices of tuna! DELICIOUS!!!!!
I had never seen the fresh tuna auction and the process of being sliced.
Everything was SPECIAL even to me!!!
I hadn't worked as a tour guide for 2 years although I did only a few tours a year.
The reason why I didn't have tours past 2 years was not only because tourists didn't come to Japan due to the disasters in 2011 but also because of comapnies' harassment.
I have very good guests all over the world, rich, famous, at high position. Whenever they come back, they request me. Companies don't understand why I am liked and requested. Then they are mean to me.
It happened again.... They were mean in the beginning, then later got jealous and finally forced me to lie to my guests to protect their position. But I can't lie and never lied.
I really hate people who change their manner and behaviour depending on people's status. I had been very patient although I was ill treated because I worked independently. But I won't be quiet anymore once I decided to come back to this job. I realized these 2 years made me really strong and smart to work with such people.
Luckily, people who were mean to me left, were transferred.... And people who were kind to me or don't know me started to give me tours. People don't change easily but systems, companies and organizations change and renew people.
To me, the position, fame and status don't matter. I am always same to everybody. And I like to be with nice people with warm heart.
I love what I'm doing and I love to see my guests smile. I'm happy when they are happy.
You are all my guests.

In order to see the tuna auction, there are certain procedures. Please check Market Guide.
Only the first 120 people can see the FROZEN tuna auction.
On this day, the tour leader had a special connection with a worker there and we had a special arrangement. The tour leader was Japanese, an authority on Japanese cuisine and a chef-instructor in USA. Her members came to Japan to enjoy a variety of Japanese food.
The movement of this auctioneer was very funny. Please enjoy watching him!
