Chilly Tokyo

Freezing Spring in Tokyo

Since I attended my friend’s wedding yesterday, I decided to stay a night and work in Tokyo today before I go back to Osaka.
I went to Snoopy café in Yokohama, which was just opened a couple days ago.
It was horrible café.
I can’t believe that they charge 15-20 average per person with nasty cold food.
They just used snoopy plates and cups, but other than that, nothing was snoopy!!
Also the operation was horrible.
I was thinking that I would do much better if I were the owner of this café…

Today it was really really cold rainy day for walking around.
So I went back to Tokyo soon after I ate lunch at the café.
I do a job for public relations now.
I had an appointment with a journalist who writes articles on a magazine.
He wanted to write an article about our products for free.
It took one and a half hour interview, and it was actually fun.
I talked the same story about our products so many times, but more I talk, the better I talk, I think.
Well, I think I am quite positive today.
Monday is a day, which I get motivated the most.

I took a bullet train back to Osaka tonight.
I hate taking bullet train.
Cold and long.
Lately, I go on lots of business trips, but the hardest part is the transportation.
There was a guy who snored soooo loud today.
First, I thought,
“Yeah, I understand. You must be tired. You could not help drinking beer in a bullet train as a tiring salary man. That made you snore. Yeah, I understand”
However, after five minutes, since he never stopped snoring, and it was continually and loud, I started frustrating.
I was like,
“I know you are tired, but it is enough!!”
You would not believe, but it was ridiculously loud, which even bored me to sleep.
I wonder if I do the same thing as him.
Well, but it was the loudest ever though…

Back to My College Life

Dinner With My Friends From College

This is not Pizza.
This is Korean Pancakes called Kimuchi Chijimi.
I went to dinner with my friends from college in Japan.
One of them is now pregnant, and I felt a little weird to see her big stomach.
I am so looking forward to seeing her baby!!

Today I had a pretty good day because of my new assistant.
He works really well and our combination is pretty good.
We are doing research for something in the US now.
Nobody could do any faster than we did.
We talked a bit by ourselves before I left office today.
He asked me not to make him go to the US with me on April 23rd.
I asked him if that is his anniversary or something.
He said, “no, but important day”.
I did not ask him any more because I don’t think I should know.
But now I am kinda worried.
Maybe he will have a job interview on that day?
I might ask him tomorrow although once I told him that I did not wanna know.
Because it would be a big deal for me if he will leave our company!

It is always nice to see my old friends.
Whenever we get together, we can go back to our old age.
Now each of us lives in a different world, but we are still good friends.
It is fun to listen to somebody else’s life which I never have experienced.

We went to Café after the dinner.
There were so many foreigners at the café.
The guy who took our order was very cute so we asked him where he was from.
We were all surprised that he was from Colombia, who can speak Japanese very fluently.
I ordered an apple pie but it was totally different from the picture, so bitched about it.
However, they did not care what I said.
Their sweets were not good at all.
I bet they make a lot of money by the cute foreign waiters but not by their food or sweets.
Humnnnnn.
