Chris' guided tour of the Blue Mountains was amazing. When we were meeting at the hotel, were you K? And I said no, no, no, no, and then I said M-san, and I memorized all four names of our group right there. I was aiming to become a foreign talent in Japan, so from the grasp of the story to the story, it was very interesting and hilarious. I was also very impressed by the interesting stories and the objective evaluation of each of them regarding the customs, ways of thinking and acting between Japan and Australia. Stories (mandan) that deepen each other's understanding while clashing with administrators due to differences in their habits at ski resort part-time jobs are both funny and instructive. In addition, we were able to enjoy sightseeing with a perfect time allocation, taking into account the congestion in the Blue Mountains. I think these kinds of small considerations are also impressive. As a Japanese language guide overseas, Chris provided me with a quality time full of humor and intelligence rather than being able to speak Japanese. Thank you very much.

You should go on a Blue Mountains tour.
The Blue Mountains were really blue and hazy and it was a lovely experience. Chris is good at Japanese and talks about Australia today, history and nature. The meat pies for lunch are excellent and worth eating. The Harbour Bridge and Opera House are magnificent as seen from the return boat. It was a fun day.
