7 days and growing
Today is my 7th day in Tokyo, and the balance is positive so far. I have adapted to the daily life faster as I expected. In the late years I have escaped from my previous problems with "strange" or "new" food, and therefore I am also doing well in that sense here.
And, of course, I have already been working here for one week. I guess I am really going to like this assignment, where I will be in more operative tasks than in the previous ones, and in a very interesting mix of nationalities (Japanese, Swedes and Australians are the main groups, but there are also some Chinese, Hungarian or Spaniard).
In that sense, after reading a lot about Japanese culture, and its application into the work, it is completely true that every country has its particularities regarding work, but some big multinationals as mine, make you feel at home anywhere in the world. Ok, here it seems the work days are longer than in other parts of the globe, but apart from that, the culture is the same. I guess I would be much more shocked if I worked for NEC or any other pure Japanese company.
And tomorrow is time for Mount Fuji. Yes, we are going to climb the highest mountain in Japan, which is pretty close to Tokyo, and it is a tradition to climb it in summer, during the night, in order to see the sunrise (if you are lucky and it's not cloudy or rainy or...). I will probably tell you more about this some time next week.

@Keisten: Esta vez creo que me preparé hasta demasiado... Ha sido demasiado suave el aterrizaje ;) Respecto a las fotos del monte Fuji, en breve tendrás alguna por aquí. :)
@Darum: Jajaja... Lo de las sandalias y el kimono no lo descarto, que hace un calor... Lo del kendo y los haikus, tengo que mirar lo que es, pero no creo. ;)
