Golden Gate Bridge



On 26th July, that was our second day here + a day before the seminar started, we went to a downtown of San Francisco. We visited many places so I'll tell you more later but for the moment, here I put a picture of Golden Gate Bridge.

Unfortunately it was foggy so we couldn't see the whole clearly but still fun to visit there. We took a bus ( Muni bus ) to get there. I found it quite handy , with 1.5 doller you can take a bus to anywhere it goes within 90 min. A travel guide says if you master how to take a bus in San Francisco, you master to enjoy a trip in San Francisco.

Golden Gate Bridge : the length is about 2,700 meter, height of the poles is 230 meter. It was built in 1937. So now it is 70 years old. Here is a link to wikipedia / Japanese wikipedia .

Kurayoshi

There is a great steak restaurant about 20-minute away from my house. It is called Kurayoshi. I have mentioned about it before, and last week I went there again with my family ( without my sister who is now in New Zealand ) plus Louana :) Here is a very short video of it;

Accounting

Well, in these 2 days I have been working on Accounting of my company. It feels very good to make a mess into organized sheets. It is like a puzzle. Put pieces into the right order and right place then at last you see the whole image. Well, the image I saw is a little bit different than it is supposed to be. So I'm going to find that out,,,

It is more fun than I thought. Let me guess why,,, I guess it is because of the sense of "Getting things done".

Anyway Louana is getting an internet modem today which allows her to do many things. First of course, she can internet at her place, she doesn't need to an internet cafe near her place and pay 300 yen or something. Second, she and I have 3 ways to communicate for free in distance ; 1. Softbank phone, 2. BB phone, 3. Skype or other Instant messenger.

Oh, now I got a phonecall from her and she got a modem! Yippie!
Well, just wait till it is set up.

Also she borrowed a new Harry Potter book from her coworker Jo. Louana and Jo both are Harry Potter freak. It is good to be freaked about something as long as it does not bother other people.

Well, go back to accounting

Long time no post

Well, it has been awhile. How have you been?
Thanks to Minke's comment and Louana's wish, I am writing this again. I have been really busy and did not have time to think about this blog. But you know, people need to express yourself and blog can be where you do that.
After the last post, what happened : Louana has come to Japan and we have spent some great weekends together. She is in Inuyama which is 30minute away from Nagoya. So we used to be like 20-hour distance but now we are 2-hour distance almost. And we used to pay 200,000 yen to see each other but now we pay 10,000 yen to see each other. Time-wise, now it is 10 times better. Money-wise 20 times better. In addition, we both have softbank cellphones in family pack so basically we can talk for free 24/7. Since both of us are working, we normally talk midnight after work. It is almost the same as it used to be,,, talking on Skype. So let's not count that. Well, let me caliculate,,, 10 * 20 = 200. So according to my stupid and superficial analysis, we are 200 times happier than we used to be. Is that so right Lou-sensei?
