Japan Trip

Finally!!!!!!!! I’m going to Japan for 2 weeks!!

My heart is beating with excitement.:)

I’m going to carry my money by Canadian dollars’ Traveler checks because it seemed to be the best way rather than the other. I will exchange the T/D to Japanese cash in Japan.

My luggage for going is nothing heavy, but souvenirs. However, I don’t know if I will be able to bring all stuff with me on my way back… This time I’m planing to bring a fordable bike from Japan. (I prefer to ride a bicycle than wait a bus or streetcar on the street, but I couldn’t find any bikes I want to buy.) Also, I’d love to take as many things as I wrote down on my note, like Japanese food, books, clothes, liquor, etc..

I’m really looking forward to going home for the first time since I came here.

Consulting

I will do some consulting tomorrow.

I forgot what I should bring with me. I haven’t done that for over 2 years…

I probably need business cards, a scale, tape measure, image pictures and a digital camera??

Try to be a professional!
