Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

This year, I nearly have a White Christmas. It starts to snow on 26th Dec. Anyway, it is really great to have snow as this is the first time I experience snow.

This is the view from my window. I wake up quite early today and have a peep from my window. Muahaha, I'll be going out for sure today.

Sun rise. A view from the train station.

The path to 100 yen shop.

Look at the depth of my footprint. It can tell you how long it has been snowing last night.

COOL~! COLD~!

Restriction for smokers.

Here, I can say there are about 80% of males and 60% of females are smokers. However, they are not allowed to smoke everywhere and definitely not while walking. There are special places designated for smokers. The reasons are...

Needless to say more, the pictures already describe all.

A night in Sendai

Today, I go to Sendai with two of my Irish friends. Sendai is the capital of Miyagi Prefecture and the largest city in Northeast region. It is also known as the City of Trees. In winter, the trees are decorated with thousands of lights in an event called the Pageant of Starlight. Many people visit Sendai to see the Pageant of Starlight. As for us, we have other purposes.

We take the last train to Sendai (10:25pm). It takes 13 minutes to reach there by bullet train and 40 minutes by car. We are the only passengers on board. LOL.

After exiting the station, I take few pictures marking my 1st step into Sendai.

Santa Claus is coming~~ to Sendai~

The first purpose. Beers....I hate beers~!

Say cheese~~!!

Next, Ado Club...more alcohol? Give me a break please. I will drink Coke only.

I hate that club. So I go out and get some fresh air myself. I end up at this 24 hours super store.

This is VLANDOME. A pretty long street. Too bad, it"s already 3am. Nothing much to see now.

I have been waiting for this moment! Time to go back. Catching the 1st train (7.05 am) back to Furukawa. I don't think I will ever come to this city to spend my night anymore.

SAY TAK NAK TO SENDAI!

Welcome Party: Design Department

In Japan, whenever a new guy is joining a company, his department will throw him a welcome party. Same goes to me. I'm now in the design department handling power windows and seats for Japanese vehicles. Here is my team members.

When comes to party, you will see how wild the Japanese can go. They will enjoy themselves to the fullest without fail. However, the next day, they will be serious again. Work hard, Study hard, Play hard.

At the end of the party, everyone will stand up and the organiser will give a short speech where at the end of the speech, everyone will give a clap, signaling the end of the party.

This is my senior a.k.a senpai, Mr Yang. He is a Korean and he has been here for more than 12 years. Every new guy will have a senpai looking after him. I am glad to have him as my senpai. Very nice and helpful. Important is he doesn't treat me like a newbies. He does listen to my suggestions and of course, will give proper reasons when rejecting them.

ごちそさまでした！ THANKS FOR THE TREAT!
