Photo Diary: JUN experience

[topi]

So for the next 4 days I worked at the machine shop. Polishing, grinding, cleaning and stuff. I didnt take any photos of inside the machine shop, because it was just that.... aload of machines, in a shop. Not as fun as Auto Mechanic, but still a good learning experience, and will look good on my CV hehe.

Time to leave Japan, and one last pic.

The place was great, the work was great, the people were great and the food was...... the place was great.

I WILL be going back. For a longer time deffinately.

NICE write up .  

Did they have many cars like the old GTO and 240z?

I asked them if they get much of that stuff, and they said retro cars still come in quite alot.

Superb write up, superb photos!

Thanks for sharing!

[topi]

Cheers Dave.

Thanks for the writeup

Its very funny to see a Brit complaing about food considering what they call food in the motherland

Brilliant topi! I'm glad you had such a good time...

[Laurence]

Excellent writeup! What an amazing place to do work experience!

[Beer Baron]

Good work mate. Well done, sounds like you had a great time that you'll remember for many years to come. That Supra ride is not something many people have experienced, lucky fellow.

Great writeup

I'm also glad you had such a great time, too bad you couldn't have stayed longer and looked around more...next perhaps.

[Parag0n]

Great photos mate, I bet you had a ball.

Did you end up getting that present for the JUN dude? if so what was it and did he like it?

[topi]

Oh yeah the presents! Fot The man of the house, some brushed alu Union Jack cufflinks, for the lady, an English silver rose with amber flower thingy broach. And I didnt have anything shiney for his son, so I bought a Norton motorcycles zippo with a Union Jack in the background from a department store. And I got a few token things - cup, books, calender, olde english style tin of caremels and mint cake.

Seemed to go down fairly well with them anyway

Thanks for the comments guys, it was the most awesome thing I could imagine.

Haha, Brit food is pretty pethetic. But fish (cooked fish) and chips is so simple, theres not much you can complain about. And the bacon is by far the best bacon you can get :aroused:

[Poida]

Sorry, bit out of the loop here, but how did you manage work experience at a Jun Workshop?! Thats very coooool!!

Either way, congratulations, you are indeed a lucky guy. `

[topi]

I simply emailed Mr.Tanaka and asked him. And he said yes . All you have to do is ask.

[knore]

nice!

was there any problems because of language differences?

like him trying to ask you to grind something like this etc but cant say it how he wants to?

[topi]

Erm, sometimes a demonstration was needed yeah. But alot of the time, it was obvious what needed doing really, if your used to working with the parts anyway.

[Sciby]

Congrats Topi, I've wondered how your work exp went. Good writeup, good photos, sounds like you had a ball. Very stoked for ya, nice work. *lives vicariously through Topi*
