It's been a long time, everyone.

I returned to Japan in early July after completing my technical support in Samoa. Since my return, I have been busy with production and correspondence until the end of July, so I have not been able to report on my activities, but I would like to share with you little by little the details of my technical support and life in Samoa.
[Samoa's Situation and Climate]
When asked what Samoa was like, I think the Disney movie "Moana" is the best way to convey the atmosphere of Samoa. Of course, it is more modern than the world of Moana, but I think it is the best way to express the feel of the sea, nature, and people.
The first thing I noticed when I arrived in Samoa was that it was hot and humid. (laughs)
Samoa is located in the Southern Hemisphere, so it was winter here, the complete opposite of Japan. However, it is a tropical region close to the equator, so it is hot and humid. The temperature is around 30 degrees every day, and I personally felt that the humidity was higher than in Japan. I was thinking of going fishing whenever I had the chance (lol), but the sun was too strong during the day, so I gave up on going every day. (By the way, even the locals don't go outside much during the day because it's too hot (lol)).
We were concerned about the harsh Samoa climate, as temperature control is one of the key factors in successful fish leather production, but we will talk about that in another post.

We hope that this project post will help people learn more about Samoa and the fish leather business.
I won't be posting very frequently, but I hope you'll look forward to my posts until the end of the Samoa project.
