The bathroom has a view of schoolgirls training to play tennis and juggle some kind of rods and the conference room has the view of the roofs of the imperial palace.<br /><br />my welcome pack included a cubicle with a pc setup with ubuntu and a bottle of vodka on the desk. nicce.<br /><br />Had to buy an envelope in a postoffice today. It's like a mini tv-drama. It had a prologue, the catharsis and the epilogue. The clerk has to use (1) a book with prices, and (2) an english dictionary, to translate the word "taishikan" that i just used in japanese back to english "embassy" to use in her english response ;-)h5n1http://www.blogger.com/profile/09157109307359876520noreply@blogger.com
