Long time no see! I’m now home from my trip to Japan, and have somewhat gotten back to the normal regular life routines! I had an absolute blast in Japan, and I wish I could have stayed there even longer! I travelled a bit around, and got to use my Japanese a LOT, which was [...]

Almost Weekend! Yay!

Now I’m counting down the hours to when the weekend starts, but I still have a full work day ahead [...]

New Jacket And Free Pizza!

After a quick interview session with the boss (previous interview was with the lead tech guy), I got the result of [...]
Japan 2010 — Hakone — 箱根
July 28, 2010
Hakone 箱根 Hakone is about 90 kilometres or so from Tokyo, and it’s located close to the foot of Mt. Fuji. I went there for the scenery and for the onsens (hot springs). I stayed there for two nights, but in retrospect I only needed one night. I arrived at my pension, The B&B Pension [...]
