【No. 0780】The First Oversea Business Trip by Myself
Feb 5, 2017 19:13
Today I prepared my luggage from the morning and departed for Narita Airport by limousine bus around noon.
After I arrived at Narita Airport around the evening, changed some Japanese yen to euro, then ate seafood rice bowl.
Although here is Japan, it is an airport, so I hear foreign languages from various places.
When I heard a fluent English conversation, I thought that it is impossible for me, then I felt uneasy.
I am nervous whether or not my clumsy English would convey the meaning in Belgium.
By the way, I am now making my presentation material at the airport lounge because there was a lot of time till check-in time of my flight.

初の一人で海外出張
今日は朝から荷物の準備をして、お昼頃にリムジンバスで成田空港に向かいました。
夕方頃に成田空港に到着し、日本円をユーロに替えたり、海鮮丼を食べたりしました。
ここは日本ですが、空港なので、色々なところから外国語が聞こえてきます。
流暢な英語の会話が聞こえてくると、自分にはとても無理だと思い、不安な気持ちになってしまいました。
ベルギーで自分の拙い英語がどれだけ通じるか、緊張します。
フライトのチェックイン可能時間までまだまだ時間があったので、今はラウンジでプレゼンを作ったりしています。

>"from various places": you mean from different countries?
No, I wanted to mean something like "from my right side, left side, front and behind."

OK, then maybe you'd say, "I hear people speaking foreign languages all around me".

If you "are now", you must always use the present tense.
Welcome to Europe!
What is a limousine bus?
I've heard these terms in Japan and never understood them. (also seat reservation in trains and other strange fees)
I've travelled from Tokyo to Narita by bus many times, but I think it has always been by "regular" bus. I have no complaints, the buses were cheap (around 1000円) and comfortable.

> What is a limousine bus?
Maybe a limousine bus is a little exclusive bus compared to a regular bus. However, I think that it is almost the same as a bus that you rode.
By the way, the fare of the limousine bus from Narita to Tokyo is around 3000 yen.

1.5 years ago I paid about 1000 JPY from Tokyo Station and it was totally fine. It's a short ride after all. I can't imagine the difference in comfort justifying a threefold price increase for a ride shorter than 1 hour!

Yes, we can move from Narita to Tokyo Station by 1000 yen even now.
I also can't justify the price, in a case you go to Tokyo Station.
However, limousine buses go to and stop at various stations including suburbs of Tokyo and surrounding prefectures. In any cases, the cost is around 3000 yen.

OK. That could justify it. I understand now.
