Thus started a whirlwind of activity on top of the multiple other projects I was already juggling. Needless to say, this extra work was not a problem for me to tackle. From the various trainings for export compliance, anti-corruption, and security briefings to the mundane of getting fit-to-travel approvals, I have been neck deep in corporate minutia.
Most of that behind me, I now find myself on the verge of venturing to a place I have been wanting to visit since my I was introduced to Japanese culture through the cuisine when I was around 7. I still regret, more so now, not taking Japanese in school. But I do not regret learning Spanish as much as I did. I just needed more time for more languages. A polyglot at heart, if not in practice. Alas
So many things I'll want to do, but since it is for work, I will probably not have time to do even a fraction of them. I will follow in the tradition set forth by Kevin and continued by Marc and record my adventures as I can on this blog.
So I invite you, my friends, to visit with me and share in my experiences as I go for a sojourn in Japan.
Tokyo is a big place, but the subway system is easy to use and will get you almost anywhere you are looking to go. Allow me to make one suggestion; Tokyo Station's ramen street. I've said it before and I will say it again, that ramen will live on in my dreams. We will return to Tokyo someday and I will have it again. Enjoy your time and don't forget to order the gyoza.
ReplyDeleteSo looking forward to ramen dreams!
DeleteI was already going to go to ramen street. I also found Ginza Kagari, right down the street from Tokyo Station. I will try both!
Hooray for blogs! Write on, brutha.
