Year 2010~!

| 6 Comments
This is my new year's Japanese traditional meal called "Osechi". My mother and I prepared this. It took a lot of time to prepare this including dumping LIVE pranws in boiling water. But it was a good meal. Many say this traditional meal "Osechi" doesn't taste good but my mother's motto is to make it better. So we change the tradition a little to make it better and it was worth it :) In addition to this, we had my favorite champagne, Billecart Salmon. It was a good first day. How was your first day in year 2010?
  • I think I blogged less for the last two years. But since I upgraded the platform and found an easier way to create a slide show, I don't have a good excuse to leave this site without updates :) haha. I will see.
  • There are many foriegn tourists lately and I usually get asked by them for directions. When I was walking to get a cup of coffee after the new year's meal with my family, one couple approached me and asked "Do you know the best sushi restaurant around here??" Many restaurants/shops are closed on New Year's day but I gave them a direction to one hotel with a good sushi restaurant. Honestly, when the market is closed, it's not a good time to have Sushi because it's not fresh. Bad times (New Year's holidays and Mid-August "Obon" holiday)
  • I think I finished packing. Yay! I am going on vacation from tomorrow. And I packed a lot of stuff for souvenirs this time!
  • This year's resolution for me is to climb the tallest mountain in Japan. Mt. Fuji (the 5th slide)!
Okay, for the long flight tomorrow, I should go to bed and sleep :) Here is to your wonderful year 2010!! Thanks for visiting! bye!

Happy Hump Day!

I still love it

I know I've been saying my favorite city on this planet is always Tokyo and I don't think this will change. There are so many things I like about this city. However, just like Plato said, there is no perfect ideal stuff. There are some things I do not like about Tokyo.
  1. This should actually be true in any city in Japan but lots of people do not let the emergency vehicle come through and walk in front of it or drive.
  2. Many walk abreast slowly.
  3. Conditioned air in the building or any train is usually ridiculously warm and stiffy.
  4. Many give me the dirty look when holding a hand with a guy. (Not currently as I am single but back then when I was attached.)
  5. I don't like the voice signals on those trucks saying "Turning left. Turning left. Turning left" Shut the fudge up!
  6. The international airport is very far. (almost 2 hours from my place to the airport. However, this will change as the domestic airport in the city will have slots for international flights next year :)
However, even with these, my favorite city on this planet is still Tokyo. If you haven't been here, you should come over here to see how great this city really is. :) Have a great weekend!

Clearing head :)

I have been busy at work. Dealing with promotion stuff (It's not good to say I don't wanna get promoted? But not every promotion is necessarily a great one in my opinion.) BTW, for those in the States or Canada and want our brands invitation sales coupons, please e-mail me. I have a few left still :) Anyway, Complex projects to deal with and I am honestly tired. So I wanted to clear my head and see something beautiful as this was a national holiday here in Japan. It was a long drive but it was really worth it. BEAUTIFUL!!! so... Autumn greetings from Tokyo, Japaneven though this place wasn't in Tokyo...

Meet my new pet.

No, I shoudldn't have done this at work while I was very busy but I needed a break. So I did this. It was damn difficult by looking at the instructions but I made my pet out of 1000 Japanese Yen ($10 = €7.10) bill. Can you see the feet and the tail? I really miss our old 1000 Yen bill as he was better looking and my idol.... Anyway... Voila. :) Meet my new pet.

Thanks for warning, Rose and Lane. I found a bug and fixed it!
Yes, I've been traveling a lot recently. That's okay. I will sell my kidney and live poorly for the rest of my life :)
Have a wonderful week!

Neo-Japanese moment :)

I thank my friend from Germany because it was a great opportunity to re-learn about my own culture and was able to show a lot of them and I was actually able to explain most of stuff without cheating :) If there is another chance, I'd do it again :) It's so worth it. Thanks for browsing and have a wonderful day!
