  This business meeting was sponsored by The Japan National Tourism Organization and Malaysian Society of Travel Agents.  I worked as an interpreter to promote Sankeien Garden.　I did my best to attract foreign tourists as well as to explain about the beauty of this Japanese garden and its easy access.
  Yokohama probably gives an image of a Western city and an exotic atmosphere especially in Yokohama China Town.  Malaysian travel agents were so surprised to find that they can feel a Japanese atmosphere and enjoy tea ceremony in Sankeien garden within easy access of the center of the city.
