Hello from Japan

Hi,
My name is Kris, well at least my US name. I go by Sho over here in Japan(had dual citizenship, now I'm a full-fledged JP citizen).
Recently got employed to a newly started foreign trade division in a metal recycling company(ferrous and non-ferrous scrap yard) located in Kyoto, Japan.

Our company has been doing the scrap business for about 40 years, but when it comes to trading across the sea, we're complete rookies. Man, I'm a complete rookie, for both the scrap business and foreign trading.

Well, surfing the web looking for people and/or companies to do some trading and I stumbled onto this forum.
I hope to learn a lot from the people who use this forum/site and also make some business friends :D

Hello Kris, uhhh,, Sho ; ) Welcome to SMF, and good luck : )

Haha Bear, Kris is fine :D and Thanks!!

Welcome to the forums Kris/Sho, from a sandbar off the coast of NC!

Beautiful country over there, an you've hit the right spot to do some learning. Pop quizzes are every Sunday at 7..you better get to studying them archives. ;)

An I like the name Kris..but it could just be cause I'm bias.

Hello and Welcome from IL.

Konnichiwa, hopefully that's close to the correct spelling of "good afternoon". Welcome to the forum. There is a lot of information available here just take the time to read. Best of luck with your new position. Mike.

Much thanks!!
from all the replies that I'm reading, I'm already getting that "at home" feeling xD

Hi and Thanks!
Illinois, another place I have never visited but is interested in visiting :D

Hey Mike and much thanks,
Konbanwa would be the correct the word but you were close! konnichiwa would be "good evening" :)
A lot of learning to do, but I'm having fun doing so. Hopefully I can get this division going on the right path.
