A banker’s life
Itsuki Nakamura is a banker. He is from a small town in Japan, but now he lives and works in New York.
American journalist, Manny Valdez, talks to Itsuki about his life and job.
How do you start a typical work day, Itsuki?
Well, I get up at five in the morning and go to the gym. Then I go home, have a shower and make breakfast. I live
with my wife in a flat in New York, so we have breakfast together. We always have yoghurt and cereal and I usually
drink orange juice. I go to work at 8 o’clock and take the subway to the office. I always use this time to read the
news on my tablet.
Where do you work?
I don’t work in a bank in the street. I work in an office. I do a lot of work for big multinational companies. I usually
start work at 9 o’clock and finish at 6 o’clock in the evening. I sometimes have lunch in the office or at a small café.
Do you like your job?
I love it. I meet a lot of people from all over the world and I need to speak a lot of different languages. I speak
Japanese, English, French, and Chinese. When I’m not at work I study Spanish.
What about your family?
I’m married. My wife’s name is Isabella, she’s American. We don’t have children. My wife is from a big family. She
has three sisters and two brothers! They all live in New York.
What do you do after work?
I usually get home at quarter past seven. I always cook dinner. My wife likes Japanese food and she never cooks!
