Blogger's block
So after a crazy Thanksgiving, a hectic few weeks at work, and a trip to Nagano to go snowboarding, I've finally found some time to peaceful free time to blog.
To my fellow bloggers, I don't know if you get the same problem I do...It's strange , in the past few weeks, every time I sit in front of the computer to write something, I can't. And because I had so much time since my last post, I keep saying to myself, I'm gonna write something amazing. Spectacular. Something to blow your mind. And with that expectation, I just don't write anything because I feel like it has to be Perfection.
So instead, I've decided to just bombard you all with a bunch of memories I've captured via my trustworthy Canon. Enjoy!
I went to Yokohama again to have "All you can eat Dessert" with Kaori. So stuffed but "Oishii" (delicious)! Also realized at that point that I really need to kick my Japanese into high gear.
I attended an HIV-Aids seminar at work and I saw a friend from RTP. :-) It was nice to see a familiar face in an unfamiliar country!
This was the Chicken (or Hen) Festival that my colleague loves to go every where. Check out some of the movies cause it's really cool to see the Japanese people go up to the gong and ring the bell for their wish. It's amazing how faith is so universal across cultures. Btw, the food was amazing here. A little bit pricey but well worth it. The beautiful ornaments that people bought were to entice good luck to come to their home or small business.
So a friend from work introduced me to his fellow Dook friend who happens to be teaching English in Japan. I got to meet Jeremy and his whole gaijin (foreigners) crew. It was nice to reunite with some young blood again! I went down to Shimo-kitazawa which is about a 10 minute express train ride from Shibuya. An amazing neighborhood with a lot of fun things to do.
Last good bye to a fellow colleague who was interning at GSKJ from France. Adrien was in the military and earning his Engineering degree by completing an internship here. During this night, we went to an Okonomiyaki restaurant (japanese omelet) with so much different stuff filled inside. The last couple of pictures are of the IT Infrastructure group.
