Finally, after a week with technical problems, the blog is back and we can both post and comment without any strange issues.
Good news in this grey day. It seems autumn has finally arrived properly to Tokyo, with pretty low temperatures (today I wore a jacket), rain… But that makes nicer the hot green tea you find everywhere, like in today’s sushi dinner place…
I’m ok. Just too busy to write normal posts. Busy work week (I’m really happy about this), some social events last weekend and in the beginning of this week, and some visitors at home.
Furthermore, the small old laptop I bought for home appears to have some kind of spyware/virus, which is becoming more challenging than I expected… Try to deal with kind of problem with a japanese windows. :S
I hope you, dear readers, understand my temporary silence, which will finish in the beginning of the next week, as this weekend I am going to Kyoto for some sightseeing. 🙂
I have a couple of things to show and tell you… I’ll be back soon.
Last week, we had an afterwork dinner some of the people who are in the project. It was in the japanese way: a place close to the office, with lots of food and drinks, and a way to talk with your colleagues in a different environment.
According to what I had read, people in this kind of events normally speak more about work, but in an informal way. But, in this case, we talked about work (of course), but also about other stuff, like similarities and differences about cultures, languages, companies, etc.
Very interesting experience, apart from being an excellent teambuilding activity, always needed when starting, and a new oportunity to taste exquisite food and try the famous sake.
By the way, in the restaurant we went, I faced something a colleague from Spain told me.., Going to the toilet, and find these two doors:
Which one would you choose? My colleague told me: “you’ll have to wait until someone else enters, so you know which is for you”… He was right: I didn’t wait and I chose wrongly the first time.
Any way, I agree with the japanese. It’s a once-in-a-life experience. There will be no second time, that’s for sure. 😉
