Life upon arrival (Japanese)

(Japanese) I was in my third year at college when first I came to America. At the Haneda airport my classmates wrote messages on Japan’s national flag and called out banzai for me. I got here and had a hard time finding a job. It was just around the time when Apollo 13 landed on the moon. I was walking down the Olympic Boulevard and heard a car honk, telling the mission had been accomplished. As for me, I was jobless and was thinking, people would laugh at me if I went back to Japan now. There were times when I was shaking and kept asking myself, What do I do? What do I do? as I was eating bread in a park. Luckily, I was able to get a job when I was in school. I washed dishes at the House of Pancake, a place run by a Nikkei named Kuwada-san. I was able to settle a bit there.

Entrevista

En 1969 llegó por primera vez a los Estados Unidos. Después de vivir un año y medio en Los Angeles viajó por diversos lugares de mundo durante seis meses. Regresó a Japón pero la experiencia que había tenido en el exterior había sido bueno e interesante por lo que decidió regresar nuevamente a los Estados Unidos. Llegó con un visado de turista. Al comienzo trabajó como ayudante de jardinero durante unos dos años y luego se independizó y obtuvo un visado de trabajo para iniciar un negocio gastronómico. Actualmente, tiene bares y restaurantes japoneses con la denominación “Hondaya”, en Los Angeles, en el Condado de Orange, Estado de California. (agosto de 2018)
