Busy weekend

The weekend was kicked off with a work sponsored nomikai (drinking party). I got a chance to meet more coworkers as well as enjoy some good food and drinks. The party started from the office where food was ordered in, and moved to an izakaya in Shinjuku. The VP of the company, the primary reason why the nomikai was held wanted to end the night with a crazy time at karaoke.

Saturday was my sports filled day. I was suppose to play both basketball in the morning and soccer in the evening. Unfortunately, but as expected, I had a huge hangover. I could barely move and felt very sick. I ended up bypassing the basketball session in order to recover in time to participate in the soccer tournament. The tournament went better than I expected. Our team ended up in 3rd place, with less players than we had in our previous try where we placed at the bottom. Afterwards, my friends and I enjoyed a nice dinner of yaki-niku. The yaki-niku restaurant was one of the best I have ever eaten. Though, expensive, the meat was so soft and tender that it literally melted in my mouth when I ate it. It gave me memories of my first time eating kobe beef. Yep, it was that good!





Sunday, I went to Yokohama. The visit was well worth it. I had the opportunity re-visit some of the sites and meet people that I have not seen in a few years as well as reminiscing memories of when I first came to Japan.



It was a great but busy weekend.
