SF before Christmas 2014

I went to San Francisco to buy some souvenir for my family and friends because I go back to Japan during the new year's holidays.
I haven't come back home for a year, so I miss Japanese food so bad.

Anyway, what I bought this day was not only one, but many stuff such as two bottles of wine, rainbow pasta, a stuffed TED, and so on.
There was a huge Christmas tree at the Union Square as well as last year. Also, another big tree was at the Pier 39. I ate a cup of calamari salad at Fishermans Wharf. Because this was the last weekend before Christmas, there were so many people for shopping in San Francisco. I like a big city fulled with many people thought.

Table moving, Umi Sushi, and party

I helped to move a group table of our international club from my friend's home to his mother's home. After that, we went to Umi Sushi, a Japanese restaurant, with his brother.
His brother had an exchange student program to go to Japan, so he was somewhat familiar with Japanese culture.

I joined dinner of the English department at a pizza restaurant. I met another guy who had come back from Japan. He was a teacher in a high school in Kyoto, so he also had many knowledge of Japan including how to survive as a foreigner.

Later on, we had a small drinking party at my Iranian friend's home. The guy who was a teacher in Kyoto also joined.

I drank a cocktail mixed with a plum wine (ume-shu) and an organic vodka made in Germany. I was a bit drunk. It was so fun Lol

Busy paper works

It was a kind of busy day for me. I did several paper works at school.

I attended a small party at my friend's home. It was not just drinking but a lot of conversation, which my favorite style, even though I did shots as well.

Busy for something to do... + Indian food dinner

I was not only physically but also mentally busy because I was necessary to go several places and because I needed to several communication over e-mail.

I went to bank to put some money into my back account. I went to the post office to send my stuff to my home. I went to a water company to cancel my termination of using water. I had a Skype consulting about the internship. I had a dinner event of my international club.

The dinner event at an Indian restaurant was good. I met many friends who I've not seen for a long time. I ate Tandoori chicken. It was good.

The final final

I had a final exam of CIS class. This was the literally final exam for me (unless I have a serious bad grade). We were allowed to bring a one-side page note for the exam. Yet, the original notes were over 10 pages, so it was so hard to put them into a page. Anyway, I'm done. I'm so relieved.

The last class of this semestter

The was the last Operation Management class. I was just looking other team's presentation though. Operation Management is one of the most practical studies among all MBA program. The main objective of study is how to improve the quality of products and services. Actually, I like our professor of this class he is not organized sometimes but his example was really practical and easy to imagine situations.

Anyway, all class was nicely done!

Last ? Arizona visit 3

I was invited to Thai friends' dinner. It was a hot-pot. An interesting thing was that they put eggs into hot-pot. We use eggs for sukiyaki, but not into the boiled hot-pot.

After dinner, I talked to Korean friend for a couple of hours. He is also a graduate in this tri-mester. He has a huge human network and has a lot of gossips episodes Lol It was a funny and wonderful conversation! Hope I will see him in the near future.
