Expo in Tokyo and Fun in Gunma

Tokyo and Gunma Trip

I just got back from Tokyo to home yesterday morning, but I left home to Tokyo again early this morning.
It is just one-hour flight from Osaka to Tokyo, but still it is a lot of work for me.
I put all my stuff in a locker at the station in Tokyo.
Since I am not good at remembering which “coin locker” I used, I took a picture to remember where.

I had to help with exhibiting at food expo in Tokyo.
It was actually fun though.
It was hard to stand from 9:00 to 5:30 whole time, but I could talk with many people and fun to sell cakes I produced.
There were not many sales women or talkative girl who has strong Osaka accent, so I became pretty famous at the convention center.
This picture is one of products we exhibited at the expo.
Tarts for Quiche, very good stuff.

After this expo, I took a bullet train to Gunma to see my friend, Ayako.
She is one of my good friends whom I have known since I went to DU.
And this is “Boo”, a pug she has.
What a cute doggie.

Gunma is sort of countryside of Japan, so pretty different from Osaka or Tokyo.
People, landscape, food and culture are different, and it is a part I like to visit there.
Ayako’s family is so nice and warm.
They serve so much food at dinner whenever I visit.
Tonight, Ayako’s brother’s family, Ayako’s friends were there too.
9 of us had dinner all together and it was like a party.
Ah, I ate too much again till midnight.
Uhhhh bad for my health but it was such a nice night.

Being Welcomed From My Office

No Rest

I got back from the US last night.
Because of a jetlag, I woke up at 5 in this morning.
I went to work with tons of stuff from the US.
I was the first person at office in this morning.
From the morning, I had a meeting with my boss and gave him reports about my business trip in LA and in SF.
He went like, “So?”
I guess the info I got was not enough for my boss.
He had no sympathy for me about my hard schedule of a-week-Tokyo- business trip and a-week-America-business trip.
Guys, I love being in the US, and to be honest, I enjoy staying in the US.
However, work is work.
Don’t think that America business trip is nothing for me!
Today, I was told to go to the US again next month for butter.
I don’t know how I can go through the immigration this time…

All my assistants loved the stuff I got from the US.
I got lots of reports from them, and I was happy to see them working hard.
I had so many kinds of meeting with many people today, and I left office at 9PM.
I was so sleepy since this afternoon and because of that, I felt really cold at work.
No food at my apt, so I grabbed rice balls from a convenience store.
I can’t believe that I was in the US yesterday.
Welcome back to my real world…
