Bruno has several obligations this week.

What are they?

There may be more than one correct answer!
Bruno tells Sam that he cannot eat with him on Friday because he is going rock-climbing with some Japanese businessmen. He is meeting with men of Japanese nationality, however there is no indication that Bruno is actually traveling to Japan to do business.
Bruno tells Sam that he cannot eat with him on Tuesday because he is meeting with the Mayor (that's right, the mayor). The mayor is the elected leader of a city or town, and is a local politician.
Bruno is going "rock-climbing" which is to ascend rocks usually using harnesses and other equipment. This is unrelated to a "rock concert" which is a concert featuring rock and roll music.
Bruno tells Sam that he cannot eat with him on Thursday because he is having his "back waxed". To have one's back waxed is to have the hair removed from the back using hot wax. Wax is the material used to create candles, among other things.
