It has been a long time since I updated the blog now. That last couple of weeks have been crazy busy. Running between meetings, joggling 3-4 different things at the same time, and no time to think just do.
But now, finally, there is one of these nice Japanese National Holidays again 🙂 On Monday there is something called Substitute Holiday. I have no idea what it is a substitute for. Maybe as a substitute for a work day. I’ll have more of them… Please 🙂
Chie went to the nail salon today. And got jewelry for her nails 😯
Wednesday and “no overtime working day” 🙂 A Japanese government invention to decrease the work hours of their employees. That has now spread to private companies too, like Sony Ericsson.
I left the office at 6 pm, which is an hour earlier than when we absolutely should leave the office on a “NOWD”. Yamanote-sen (JR commuter line) was more overcrowded than usually. One reason may be that I went in the opposite direction than I usually do when I go home.
Pulling myself out of the cart at Yurakucho station along with what felt a thousand other passengers I could not do much else than follow the slow pace of everyone else. My destination was easy enough to find. Just walk along the rails back towards Shimbashi.
At the Coca restaurant located under the rails of Yamanote-sen I found Mash-san and Chie. They had started eating and drinking, waiting for me.
We had a good time and after a while we were joined by Saito-san. Continuing to eat spicy food, drinking and talking. We had a good time 😀
At around 10 pm we finished and continued to Tori Ichi just around the corner. It’s a yaki-tori restaurant, though our purpose tonight was not to eat but have a last drink before going home. And of course to speak Swedish with the owners wife 😛
