Tom Gibb has spent the last decade in Japan and while he and I share many similar experiences and a similar love for all things Japanese, one thing we don’t seem to have in common is his ability with language.  Tom actually has two new tricks, one is a love and learning of the Japanese language including his ability to now work as a translator. The other is that he is writing a book about a cycling trip around Japan.  I caught up with Tom as he was trying to get this, his first book, published, and also thinking about his career direction.
