New Concrete Paving Project in Kathmandu, Nepal!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Here’s a video of the shocking concrete paving work I saw the other day in Kathmandu, Nepal. It’s a far cry from construction sites in Japan, but the workers look so full of life! It’s extremely hard work, but there are even women…
Traveling to Nepal for Interviews and Hiring Technical Intern Trainees (Part 8): Special Edition
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. This time, I’m sharing a bonus story from Kathmandu, Nepal. On my last day, I’d had enough of Nepali food after taking a chartered taxi, so I was heading to a soba restaurant lol. On the way, for some reason, the police pulled me over! First, they checked the driver’s license…
Traveling to Nepal for Technical Intern Training Program Interviews (Part 7)
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. I flew back from Nepal to Narita on Sunday night at 11:25 p.m.—which was actually Monday morning at 9:00 a.m.! To be honest, I’m totally exhausted lol. Well, the flight back was practically empty, so I was able to lie down in my seat and sleep, which was a total blessing lol. And this time, Japan’s amazing…
Traveling to Nepal for Technical Intern Training Program Interviews (Part 6)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Here’s a view of the Himalayas from an elevation of about 2,200 meters in Nepal. Even at 2,200 meters, there were mountains towering above us—it was truly majestic! And since the air is thin up there, even the slightest movement leaves me gasping for breath lol (Am I getting old?). Today in Nepal…
Traveling to Nepal for Interviews and Hiring Technical Intern Trainees (Part 5)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Today is Saturday, so I have the day off. I’m thinking of going sightseeing today and tomorrow.

Traveling to Nepal for Interviews and Hiring Technical Intern Trainees (Part 4)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I visited a Japanese language school and spoke a little about Japanese people and Japan. Whether they’re already set to go as technical interns or not, everyone wants to go to Japan. I’ve written down the reasons why. In Nepal…
Traveling to Nepal for Technical Intern Training Program Interviews (Part 3)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I conducted interviews and finalized the hires. As you can imagine, selecting 6 people out of 18 was quite a challenge! That said, I usually wrap up the interviews and hiring for interns at both companies (Enta and Izumi) in under two hours. My interview process is very simple—first…
Traveling to Nepal for Technical Intern Training Program Interviews (Part 2)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’ve been in Nepal for a few days now. I thought the flight would take 8 hours, but it ended up being about 10. I’ve already watched three movies, and it’s been a cycle of sleeping and waking up lol. Ten hours really is tough. (My butt hurts.) And it’s really W…
If you yell at people while trying to develop them, it will only make them shrink back—they won’t grow.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. How do you teach technical interns their jobs? Training interns who don’t know their way around and can’t communicate in the local language is actually quite challenging. That’s because you have to teach them everything from A to Z, and you might even need to go into even greater detail…
