    overwhelmed Can "overwhelmed" be used in a good way? I want to say "I was overwhelmed at your great party. It was such a spectacular show!" in a thank you letter. Does it sound funny? If so, what verb I can use instead?

    Hi Dave,

    I think it would be good for you to learn greetings in Japanese such as "ohayo gozaimasu(good morning)", "kon nichi wa(hello)"  or "sumimasen  (this one is quite usuful.. it can be "thank you " , "sorry" or "excuse me" or even "Is anyone here?(at shop)").  Japanese people usually appreciate foreign nationals to speak Japanese especially when they greet in Japanese.  

    You wouldn't really need to write/read Japanese during your trip. If you visit major cities, the signs are usually written both in Japanese/English (and sometimes in Korean).

    Enjoy your trip and がんばってください！

    Thank you 할아버지. I know it is not common practice. Some companies in Japan make many categories in salary like food allowance, house rent allowance, etc.,because they calculate bonus based on individual base salary so that they want to make it smaller as much as they can. I don't know how taxation system treats these allowances... but well, I think I just might have to create a new word for "Gaikin teate"! Thank you again for your time, I really appreciate it.

    Thank you both, but I am not sure about "expense account". I think I should explain it in more detail. A sales exec is paid 400,000 yen monthly.The breakdown is 350,000 yen of base salary and 50,000 of "Gaikin Teate". It is supposed to be spent only for sales purposes. The amount 50,000 is fixed whether she/he spent more or less. I thought it would be called "XX allowance". I don't know.... I would really appreciate your help.

    What do you say "Gaikin teate" or "Eigyo teate" in English? "Gaikin teate" is one of the categories in a monthly salary that is paid to sales executives as expenses they would spend to use public transportation to meet clients and/or have a coffee with clients etc,. It is usually fixed amount. What do you call it in English?
