4 weeks down, almost 4 to go..

急に暇が多くなった。。なぜかなあ~?
I've suddenly been rather sociable! (I wonder why!?)
Here are a few pictures of some outings:
 Huw's Jazz Band
 AEON party in Ohizumigakuen
 Possibly my last time at my favourite Chinese restaurant! Xie xie!
 Karaoke!
日本ではサンドウィッチはよくサンドに短くされます。サンドは砂と言う意味もあるからこの写真はぴったりと思いました(*^^*)
Sandwich is often abbreviated to 'sand' in Japan. The beach at Kamakura was so windy that my sand sandwich got sandy.. :/
 At a beach party with Branwen (my friend Michael DJing in the background)
 Comedy night near Shinjuku. I volunteered as a 'prop'
To Mum and Dad- I met the guy who does the "Welcome to Tokyo Tower" voiceover for the lift at Tokyo Tower!

Toshi in Hanoi

Toshi worked really hard to impress his superiors and prove his skills, and despite being the youngest ever to be hired and competing against longer-serving rivals, he was successful in being transferred after less than 3 months at the company! I'm really proud!!!
会社に入ったばかりのに、若いなのに、転勤されることはすぐなったです。トシをすごく誇りに思っている!!

 A week of stress finally 'boxed up' and done!
荷物を詰めることがついでに終わった!
 At the airport: This isn't goodbye; it's hello to a new life!!
飛行機では「さよなら」じゃなくて新しい生活に「ハロー」です!

I'm happy to report that Toshi is safe and sound in Hanoi after just a week's notice of his transfer. Looks like he is living in Ha Noi's Cầu Giấy district, West-South-West of the centre. I hope that he (and eventually I) will enjoy this next adventure!!

トシ君が無事でハノイに到着することができて喜んでいます!ハノイの「カウガイ」という西方な区に住んでいるらしい。これから新しい冒険が始まりますね!
