GE FMP Prospective Employees Gathering Party

Anassa, the venue for the gathering party

I’ve just received an e-mail from GE just now regarding a gathering party for the prospective employees of FMP for the year 2009. According to the e-mail, it will be held at a Mediterranean cuisine restaurant which is situated inside the Akasaka Biz Tower in the newly opened area called Akasaka Sacas. I’ve already confirmed my attendance on that day which is going to be on the 24th April and am really looking forward to it because on that day, we will be meeting the Finance Leaders of GE Japan who will be our mentors for the program. This is my first time trying out Mediterranean food and that is also something I will be looking forward to as well. I guess the best thing of all, I will be meeting all of my future colleagues (if they all do attend) and definitely this gathering would really make me feel that I am already a part of GE. Yippee ! *hehe*

Yeah, I simply love noodles and yes, I am missing homeland food very much. I must really make a plan home and eat up to my heart’s content. Been updating with friends back home lately and it really reminds me of the good old times and all the good local food we have back home. Alright, what I can do now is just to be patient till I make my next trip home back and attack all the good hawker stalls. *hehe*

Japan’s symbol of natural beauty, “Wagashi”

“Wagashi“s are simply beautiful. They are definitely one of the many symbols of Japan’s beauty, a representative of the delicacy and high quality of the traditional art of Japan. The soft blend of colors and carefully made from the beginning to the end, trust me, you’ll be reluctant to spoil the shape of your wagashi when you are really partaking it. You have to visit Japan and see them for yourselves. I love the not-too-sweet taste and of course, viewing the beauty of the wagashi from every angle is another interesting thing to do. A must try.

Introducing Taiyaki & Nattō

Hi there, everyone ! It’s already my 7th year here in Japan and ever since I’ve started my blog since 2004, I believe I haven’t been introducing the culture of Japan much and I thought it should be high time I do something about it. Today, I am introducing you, for those who are not familiar with Japanese food, to what we call as “taiyaki” and “nattō“. Well, the detailed descriptions are as stated above. About “taiyaki“, if you know Doraemon well enough, it is something like “dorayaki“, one of Doraemon’s favorite confectionery. I bought the ones above from a shop nearby my apartment and it is about 80 yen for one. About “nattō“, many foreigners and many Japanese themselves cannot stand the taste and smell. I, myself, could not take it too in the beginning but after going to Kyushu, I began to learn to enjoy it and now, it is one of my favorite Japanese food. It is good for your health and it is publicly known here in Japan to have a good effect in making your blood flow well. Alright, that’s it for today. I’ll introduce more in the near future. Peace.
