I’m still alive
So I just realized that I hadn’t blogged in over 4 months. Wow! I suppose that’s better than the one Christmas card per year thing though.
Life in Japan is great! Aside from the earthquakes and typhoons over the past few days, the weather has been great. Hot and muggy, but great. A friend complained that I didn’t have air conditioning the other day and that prompted me to purchase a unit for my living room. I have to admit that it is a lot nicer now. I’m not a big fan of the A/C but it has a de-humidifier setting that I am getting used to.
I am still playing vollyball.
Last month I made a trip to Korea. We have an office in Seoul and I visited it and did a tiny bit of shopping. I was surprised to see that pastel ties decorated with rhinestones seem to be in fashion in Korea right now. Kinda funny. The food was nice in Korea. A coworker took my party to Todai (an Asian buffet they have in Las Vegas too) which was really nice. The yen is very strong against the won right now as well so that made things all the nicer.
If anyone is every going to Seoul, I suggest staying at the Seoul Residence located near Samsung station and COEX. For 70 bucks/night you get a huge room with a kitchenette, washing machine (free), big bathroom, and lots of closet space to hang up clothes.
This week also marks the start of the O-bon holiday in Japan- a Buddhist holiday. A lot of my clients are closed, but we are all busy at the office. I am taking Monday off though and have lots of plans with friends over the weekend.
So things are good.
If anyone else has had an adventure this summer it sure would be good to hear from you!
Cheers!
