I haven't forgotten about you...

Hello everyone,

I really haven't forgotten about you, but last weekend I kind of did forget to write, so today it will just be two weeks I can write about.
They were actually kind of busy but on the other hand not really eventful.

Firstly I have to say that I started getting a massage once a week, for FREE! Yes my company is that awesome! And it just feels so good after a hard day of sitting in classes.

I still have classes everyday and so there is not really much to write about, they continue to be very interesting, I learn a lot, not only new vocabulary but also other important content that I will later need as a consultant.

On the weekend I went shopping in Harajuku one of the most famous young fashion districts in Tokyo. And on Sunday I used the day to study Accounting (I failed the test miserably the week before, not only because of the language problem, but definitely also because of a lack of understanding the topic), and clean my room.
I also cook every Sunday, on the other days I don't seem to find the time, but once a week is definitely better than nothing. This week it was Omrice, a Japanese Omelet with rice and ketchup. The week before grilled fish.

This week on Friday was our Kick-off Meeting for the new fiscal year (it starts in April in Japan), for that reason colleagues from Germany came to visit and we had the opportunity to go and meet them.
After a really fancy dinner in a very Japanese restaurant, we went to a Magic Bar in Ginza one of the most expensive shopping districts in Tokyo. I had never seen live magic before, only on TV, and it was really just a very small scale, but it was amazing to look at. I couldn't figure out how they did any of the tricks and I was really amazed when we left to go home.

The Kick-off Meeting itself was also incredible! There were of course some speeches of our CEO but also of a famous former Japanese football player. There was show, food and drink afterwards and even a competition in what country it is best to work. Unfortunately Europe Office did not win. But we will try and do better next year (the country that won was Thailand).

I just realized that I am just uploading pictures of food, but it is not easy to upload other pictures.
Here is one of our dinner after work two weeks ago.

By the way, the weather is really warm now (finally after weeks of rain) and I try to get as much sun as possible, which is basically on the weekend and in the morning on the way to work. But it is really nice not to need a jacket anymore and not to freeze inside the apartment.
