Globalization and Localization

I do everything on the internet. I studied and graduated master's degree online from University of Phoenix. During 1 and half years of studying online, I met many teachers and students from all over the world sharing our suffer for assignment to complete! I met my classmates for the first time for our graduation ceremony but we talked like knowing each other for a long time (of course!). This experience made me aware of what internet can do globally and locally!

We have two English websites online and through the site we could get customers' feedback from all over the world.

At the same time, recently I was looking for a shop space for our 1st real shop in the very focused area, Omote-sando/Aoyama/Harajuku or Daikanyama in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo. We visited so many local real estate agencies but information are always the same and everybody said the same thing "This is a very popular area so it is so difficult to find a shop space. Even there is a vacancy, it will be taken immediately by the local contacts." I did the net searching for the real estate for shops and finally got this shop around 2am in the morning!!! The ad was on post on the web late at night and I applied first!! Next day, there were so many inquiry for the shop but as I took it first, we could take the great ideal shop. It is right on the targeted area!! But I could not get this information from the local real estate agencies!

I see the opportunities of internet more and more for both global and local communications.
