Happy Halloween!!!

This weekend was a Halloween party!

I thought I was too old to dress up but hell no! There were so many people (young and old, japanese and foreigners) in the street dresse up in costumes that we wanted to wear something also.
We were planning to go home but bought this dress at 12am midnight and went out partying.
I can't believe I walked down the street in a China dress! but since surroundings were much more crazy it wasn't embarrassing at all.

Happy Halloween everyone (^^)

Moving

I just moved to a new place and I'm so sick of doing things to make my room. I had to buy bed, frige, microwave, washing mashine, desk, chair, TV table, kitchen stuff, toilet stuff, curtains, and many other small things. Also, I had to have Internet connection, have electricity, gas, water etc. Gosh, it takes time and I have to carry heavy things, have to clean up, and the worst is that I have to wait for the delivery to come which you don't know when, so you have to stay at home for 3 hours just waiting. plus, it takes 1 week to come so untill then, I don't have them. Today, I bought dest and a chair so it'll come next weekend. I still have many things I need...
It's not just stress but it cost a lot!! ahhhh...

well, fun things is that I can make my own room in my own taste. My room is basically white, cream white and dark brown color with a little bit of red. My bathroom is mostly pink. looks nice!

Updates

It's been 2 weeks since I started working.
1st week past so fast. Very important customer from Italy came to visit us to have a meeting and I was one of the main person to organize everything. I will be the European Regional Sales (if this business works), so I was always with the Italians for 4 days.
Since I don't know anything about the company nor the products, I can't do any business negotiation but I did translation, explained technical stuff about products, helped to prepare for presentation etc. I worked from early in the morning till late at night but I enjoyed it very much. I get to eat sushi and tempura in Ginza and also, went to Nikko (3 hours drive from Tokyo where it has world heritage shrine) on Sat. which was considered "work" but me, I was enjoying sightseeing with them:)
Doing business with foreign company and Japanese company are very different. Their mind, their attitude, their questions are different. Sometimes they ask things we never imagined. I want to know more about the difference and be able to handle both well. Also, I need to learn more about the products... I'm not good in electronic device...
