Tokyo Day 03 --- Part I


I didn't have the time to blog yesterday because in the day, there was a client presentation and then back to back meetings with my Japanese colleagues. The client meeting started off rather tense because the Vice President from the client's side attended, and he looked like a really stern and no-nonsense American. Thankfully he warmed up to us and even started making non-business related jokes at the end. As I was the main presenter, I was totally stressed out initally.

In the evening, I met with an ex-colleague, who is now a very dear friend, for dinner. He took me to a sushi/ sashimi place (I had sushi/ sashimi for dinner 2 nights in a row!!) and then to this charming but reeaaaaaally small (can only sit around 8 people) pub. I took some photos and will see how they turn out... will share them in my next post if they don't turn out too dark. I love, love, love that place so much, it's like a little hidden gem tucked away in a corner of nowhere. There is only one person working there, and he doubles as the waiter/ bartender. Sometimes when it isn't too busy, he plays the piano too! Cute guy but I couldn't really communicate with him and my friend told me that he's gay. Oh well... Sadly, I doubt I can find the way there myself in future!!

I am so looking forward to going home in another few hour's time. Totally missing Mark and Hershey. What I am NOT looking forward to is being stuck in economy class for the journey home (and I am not on the Airbus 380).

Got to start packing soon... I have been at it since last night but gave up halfway and went to bed because I ummm... couldn't fit everything back into my suitcase.
