You probably know that our Japanese friends have a relationship to work quite different from that of small Frenchies. Thus, an employee returning to the office after being away for a holiday does not say, "Chief, it was great, I enjoyed (and I apportion well on vacation right now right now)," but "部长, 忙しい 時 に 休み を 取っ て しまっ て 申し訳 あり ませ ん でし た "or" Chief, I'm really sorry (e) myself regrettably absent (e) when there is so much work to do. "
This is also exactly what my dear and loving wife learned during his Japanese lessons with illustrated picture above dialogue.
