Day 3 (11/28)

International Day.
Today I met four cute persons.

(1).A girl in Department of Medicine(藥學部) of University of Tokyo,who's from Liaoning Province,China,said "Follow me!" to show me the main gate of the school. She was taking part in a senior high alumni reunion of Lianing,and happened to meet me on her way. She used"I didn't expect to meet a Chinese before going to that event" as conclusion. She was cute.

(2).A 25-yo boy,studying microbiology at U. of Tokyo,wanted (or was going) to be an engineer after graduation from the Graduate School. He showed and led me to a Chiyoda Line(千代田線) subway station. That trip took us more than 20 minutes. How nice he was! Though he barely spoke English,we catched up with each other a bit. And I knew he went to the Tokyo Tower once,with his girlfriend.

(3).Katharina,a fashion designer,who had her intership in Hong Kong,revisited H.K. and flew to Tokyo. Her next stop will be Kyoto.
She lives in Germany. She's a german with fluent English,and a pair of beautiful big eyes. She's pretty,slim and young.
Did she say she has graduated or something? I didn't really catch that part.
Anyway,we might visit Yoyogi Park together tomorrow. I'm going to show her the way there.

(4).An architecture student from New Zealand. He's a Chinese,and soon to be a New Zealander. Only 2 years later,he'll have a N.Z. passport,said he.
His home is in Sichuan,China,and he's invited to join a contest here in Tokyo. He said he went present something before noon and had a dinner in Roppongi Hills(六本木).
He's traveling around central Japan for 3 weeks,including Yokohama,Osaka,Nara,Nagoya and Tokyo. He'll leave Japan from Osaka. He's on vacation after that contest,because the school is off. The flight ticket is offered by the host unit. His professor's good friend,a teacher/professor in U. of Tokyo,is going to show him the architecture of the university itself,on next Wednesday,Dec. 2.

Day 2

"Where can I have my lunch?" I kept asking myself when I was at Meiji Shrine. The shrine looked so devine,and it truly was,I couldn't eat wherever I wanted. So I brought my sushi and kept hungry until I finally found a place to eat them. It was outside the shrine,next to a subway exit. There was a small park,and I ate them there.

I also went to Omotesando Hills,a place seemed like to mimic Beverly Hills. With elite boutiques standing alongside the both sides of sidewalks,Omotesando Hills gave me a fleeling that"Am I walking around the Beverly Hills?" They even have similar names,using "Hills" as the the second word.
I can't say which one is better. Actually,they're both good.

Imparial Palace,Ginza and Tokyo Tower were the other places I visited for the rest of the day.
I heard that "Japan is a high-definition world." That means everything is neat and clean so it looks like you would watch everything in Japan like with high-definition. Is that true? Yes,it is. I've proved it by myself.

Of course there are shortcomings of Japan. We'll talk about them later. Now it's time to take a rest.

Day 1- In Tokyo

I almost missed my plane today. I woke up so late,my dad had to hurry give me a ride to the airport to catch a shuttle flight,from Kaohsiung to Taoyuan. Hail Dad.

I have to admit I went with a bad mood. I cannot say why,all in all,it is my fault.

Anyway,since I will be here for 4 days,just follow the plan I made a couple months ago.
That time,I was kept away from this country because of the outbreak of swine flu.

Today I went to Daiba(台場),a romantic place usually shown as a background in Japanese dramas.
It was romantic. And chilly. Especially when I lost two buttons of my jacket.

Let us explore the city again tomorrow,and 4 days later,I can be home again.

Accounting Lesson

Today's Accounting lesson was a torture. I went to the class after finishing dinner just half an hour before it started. The result was I almost passed out during the class.

Drowsy,lenthy lecture and full of food in my stomach made me feel so sleepy and couldn't keep myself awake anymore but fell asleep.

I chose to attend that class,because it'll finally do me good when I need to use basic accounting knowledge in judging a financial statement.

The truth is Accounting takes lots of time to practice if you want to get a whole picture of it. I failed doing that by lack of time excercising examples provided by textbook and the lecturer.

It's no doubt that Accounting plays an important role in modern business. I need more time to better study it.
