Factory tour n short LA trip

I went to a manufacturing company, which produce a mechanical components for fuel, oil, etc..., as a class of Operation Management.

The company building was huge even though it's located in a suburb of the city.

It was interesting experience because I saw the actual manufacturing process using the theory which I had learned in class, and those used theory were mostly the theory made by Japanese company such as Toyota.

After two hours factory tour, I sent my friends back and go home quickly.

My friends and I left for LA at night.

It took about 4.5 hours. Right after we arrived in LA, we went to a Korean restaurant at 3 am Lol It was probably early breakfast. But after that, we went to a family home of a friend and took a nap in the morning.

Friend's birthday

There was a birthday dinner party of my Chinese friend.

We made Takoyaki and ate Hawaian BBQ.

I gave him a doll of Fmily Guy. Also, I bought two balloon for him. It was fun!

Takoyaki Party

Because one of my friends bought a Takoyaki pan, we had a Takoyaki party. It was the second time I cooked Takoyaki in the U.S. but was still very interesting!!

Also, I made Inarizushi again.

 By the way, I wore the costume of TED at this time.

Weekday San Jose

I left my homework and went to San Jose Lol

For lunch, I stopped by Sushi King, the boat sushi restaurant, and ate a lot.

For dinner, I went to Gombei with my frinend, who attended a meeting event at Hilton San Jose, and ate Oyakodonburi. Awesome!! It was the best Oyakodon ever in the states! Also, miso soup was great!

Because my friends were staying at Hilton, we talked their room until midnight. It was so fun!

International community pizza party

After a weekly meeting and dodge-ball games, we went to Pizza Factory, a pizza restaurant.

An international community group of our town organized a pizza party for our  international club.

At night, we had a Super Hero party at our friend house.　It was so fun!

study busy

I'm so busy these days....

Thursday, I figured out my grade would be bad, way worse than expected. I was disappointed about my performance. I start studying hard. On Friday, I almost studied except the weekly meeting of our international club. Even on Saturday, I didn't go out. On Sunday, I went to Starbucks and tried to finish a mid-term paper (take-home exam) but I couldn't finish. Once I went to grocery stores and went back home, and then I got back to do my homework. To write up papers ( total 15 pages), I stay up until 5:30 am. Even though I went to bed after that, I woke up 9:30 am and try to complete my work. Eventually, I kept studying until 4:00 pm because I had classes from 4:30 pm to 10:00 pm. I was a little exhausted...

Osaka sushi

Again, it was a good Japanese restaurant.
