Free Art in Shibuya
Have you ever been to Shibuya? It's the fashion capital of Tokyo. A statue of a dog called Hachiko is waiting in front of the JR exit (Yamanote Line). Many tourist take pictures there and then cross the Shibuya crossway. At this place, sometimes you will be asked for interviews. The career of many models started in this location.
Of enjoying free art in Shibuya, you need to use a different train exit. The Hikarie Department is located near the exit of the subway lines (Fukutoshin Line or Tokyo Toyoko Line). You find galleries at the 8 floor of the Hikarie Department. The artist will change every week, so there is always a chance to see great work.

Last weekend, I visited the graduation art exhibition of the Kuwasawa Design School. Did you know that graduation exhibitions are free?
It's a great and cheap way to spend your weekend in Tokyo. Every art university is having these kind of exhibitions in Japan. Most of the art university's have a English website, where you can check out the schedule of free exhibitions. You can meet future designers, and also people, who are already working in the art industry.

How to find work as Interpreter
I landed my first job as Interpreter, because my coworker introduced me to his dad, who living in the UK and wanted to expand his buisness in Germany. That is a very common way to find work as Interpreter in Japan. After working freelance in Japan for I while I figured that here recommendation is the key to finding direct Japanese clients.
Further, I like to see other Interpreters as friend not as direct rival. Sometimes my schedule gets busy, so what do I do? I ask a friend if she is available? That way, sometimes you will get introduced to work or to privat organised network party. Networking is a the key in any kind of buisness. Just think about it? The more people know what you are doing, the higher are the chances they will contact you. Therefore, I aim to build as many win-win siutations as possible.
What about you? How do you find work as Interpreter?

1)
女性は15歳で、まだ若いのに細かい術を知らないといけない
悪魔より賢いやり方を知らないといけない
どの技術でも必ずマスターしなければならない
女性たちは男性達を自分に魅了させる
彼女たちは嘘の笑顔と嘘の涙の全部を知らなければいけない
彼女たちは嘘の笑顔を、嘘の涙の全部を知らなければいけない
2)
ある男を建前でおだてることをしたければ、
彼とは別の男を目で熱望しても良い
期待をさせて
ライバルをバカにする
時々真面目で上品なふりをしないといけない
時々その上、手荒にしないといけない
赤くならずに嘘をついてわなをかける
嘘をついてわなをかける
3)
