Utah trip - Arches National Park

Thank Ryo & Kazuma, I enjoyed  a great trip to Arches National Park during my first Thanksgiving holiday in the US.

We arrived at night after a long long driving. The lodge we stayed was so nice. I was surprised when I knew that we can even use free wireless internet in the room. The scenery was also amazing there! I felt we enjoyed the nature and luxury at the same time. 

After a fun discussion about the plan of the next day, I fell asleep because of tiring long driving. It's really tough to drive more than ten hours a day. However, the experience is totally worth it. Some of us went horse riding on the second day. Riding horse on the trial with amazing view is a fantastic experience. My horse was very stable and cute. I was glad it was not so eager to eat nor too lazy to move. This was my first time to ride a horse and cross a small string. We took some great photos and everyone was satisfied with the guides.

We took some time in Arches National Park. The trials are enjoyable and the weather was good. We were lucky because it's cloudy but not rainy. If the rain came one day earlier, we could not hike anymore. Anyway, the Arches are unbelievable and we hiked a bit so that we could enjoy more in the dinner. 

The dinner was in Moab brewery. People said it's good, and they didn't lie. After dinner, we came back lodge, chatted for a while, and played poker. Everyone was so tired that the next day no one could get up!

The rushing morning was also fun. We all were surprised that no one woke up before 10:30 a.m. and we almost could not check out on time. Obviously, we enjoyed a lot.

The driving was terribly long but also interesting. Especially when Kazuma's car suddenly showed up besides my car. We also ate two meals in Vegas and gambled a bit. This is a great trip with great partners.

Thank you all for traveling together!

Boston Trip - Boston Career Forum

Back from Boston, I was so grateful that my school is in California with great weather. Although I like the atmosphere in the comparably old city, the low temperature is still a huge problem for me.

This trip is valuable, I think. Despite no jobs for me, the opportunity to see and participate the biggest Japanese job fair in the US is still a useful experience. I interviewed with Vp of Amazon.jp. He is really calm and smart. In fact, I believed I did a good job in that interview, although I failed to get the intern because of the lack of my experience and language ability. 

In the event, one may realize the stereo type: "Japanese can not speak good English." is totally wrong. There are so many new generation Japanese who can speak English much better than me. Maybe Japan will change dramatically in the near future. Who knows.

I am glad that I could meet the recruiter of Wunderman again. I regard this is a great company to work for and also a place really attracts me. 

The Taiwanese shabu shabu in Boston is the most impressive surprise for me. I enjoyed the shabu shabu which has 麻辣鍋底, 蒜泥 and 沙茶醬 with Japanese friends. We even ate two times in different shabu shabu restaurant during out very short stay.

In fact, I feel guilty by flying so far without getting a job back. However, I can only keep trying and practicing. I believe some day those dots in my life will somehow connect to each other. I can only keep my faith in myself.  That's all I can do.
