Updates

So it's been a little while. I've actually been busy this week (gasp) at work, as I am currently negotiating deals in Spain, France, Holland, and Thailand. After work on Wed. I had plans to hang out with Jon, who is the boyfriend of Sarah, who introduced Shoko and I. Anyway, I had to walk through Shinbashi station in order to get to where we were going to meet up. In the station this Japanese guy comes up to me and says "excuse me, do you speak Japanese?"

"yeah...what's the problem?"

"I think we might have met before"

"Ummm...I doubt it"

"Ok, well, sorry, but do you have any change?"

"Knock it off!"

and he scurried away. Accosted by guys looking for spare change in the station-life in the big city, baby. So when I looked up Shinbashi station on wikipedia, I also found a link to the area where I work, which is part of Shinbashi. The picture of the building I work in from that article is kinda nice too:




A friend of mine from college who has been living in Japan is switching jobs, and has just moved to Tokyo. So today I'm going to show him around a little bit. The plan is to eat lunch in Shinbashi, then maybe head to Odaiba, which is where Shoko and I went on our first date. Speaking of Shoko, she left Friday morning and won't be back until Sunday evening, leaving me to my own devices this weekend. Apart from hanging out with friends, my only plan is to buy alcohol in order to mix up some cocktails. Considering I didn't leave work until after 9pm last night, I think I'm entitled to a lazy weekend...
