Tokyo Day 2

Today was the start of my meeting.. I had told my colleagues we would meet for breakfast at the hotel cafe at 730am.. End up i went down at 8am for a quick breakfast. Really couldn't drag myself out of bed.. So tired!!!


Breakfast was quite boring.. the usual continental breakfast: Eggs, hotdogs, potatoes, and cereals and fruits.. the orange juice was amazing though! So fresh i think i can drink 10 glasses! = )


After breakfast, we met our Japanese colleague at the lobby. He was kind to bring us to our office for the first day. And apparently, many of our colleagues from other departments were in Tokyo as well cause we met a few in the lobby. Such a small world.


The walk was uneventful. .about 5 minutes only.. We had some difficulty cutting through the peak hour stream of commuters pouring out from the train station.. it was literally a dash to break through to the other side.. haha!! so funny.. =)


Today was a light day, we had some light discussions, lunch and then headed to a nearby hotel garden to watch cherry blossoms upon the suggestion of our Japanese colleague. It was nice, and we took a few group photos before heading back to the office.





I also enjoyed the tea break snacks during our meeting, we had cakes, sushi and fresh delicious strawberries.. i think i am growing fat!! After the meeting, we headed to the Prince Hotel Shinagawa for Shabu Shabu dinner on the 38th floor.. we got lost for a bit but a kind gentleman helped us find our way in the end.. I think most of my colleagues enjoyed except for one and his wife, cause they ate less than half of their beef.. Oh well, you can't please everybody.. = )



During dinner, the group asked me about my New Zealand trip and what i was going to do there etc. etc.. I also found out that my boss had the same interest as me.. she prefers to spend money on travelling rather than expensive LV bags, and she likes the same author as me - Jodi Picoult. Interesting!

Dinner ended around 10pm, and after checking emails etc.. ended up sleeping at 1am.. again not enough sleep.. sigh.. wonder how long i can last!
