• Happy New Year
• Sat. Dec, 31^st 2005

A week after a Christmas' Eve at the restaurant working until 23h, it is now time to spend a New Year's Eve. This time, that won't be at work but... ...alone. So, it is 22h07 and after a quick Japanese dinner (delicious) and a couple of glasses of warm “ú–{Žð, I am just writing these lines before heading to –¾Ž¡_‹{. For, I am decided to use this night...

• Merry Christmas
• Sat. Dec, 24 2005

Just a few words before going to bed... I wish you all a Merry Christmas.
This 25th will be unforgivable... Unfortunately! For, that's the first time that I was working for Christmas. But if working on that day is not the best thing ever, working like I did is surely one of the worst! The 13 hours spent at the restaurant looked like a constant rush hours. So, if the last days were quite nice (not too crowdy and interesting customers: italians or little funny girl playing with me in the restaura... [Read]

After a good dinner with Keiko-sama in •\ŽQ“¹, I have tried my Internet connection and, holy God, it is working. Actually, I think the cable is a kind of weak but the couple of beers I had for dinner made me find the way to keep it working. It means that I have bothered the landlord for nothing...
But that does mean that I'll be able to search jobs more efficiently. I just have to work a bit less at the restaurant (I ... [Read]

Today, I have finally received my computer... The company in charge of the transfer has been really quick as my father sent it last Thursday... I'm impressed. Moreover, I have been lucky as the delivery guy arrived just before I left for the restaurant... —Ç‚©‚Á‚½!
So, I used the 2 hours break to buy a screen at my favorite shop (as Kaori would say): bic camera. Even taken time to create my point card... As a lucky day, the boss a... [Read]

• All Jin Jan Rugby Club party
• Sat. Dec, 17 2005

After a few hours of work (around 9...), I finally reached ‹âÀˆê’š–Ú for the annual party of the AJJ rugby club. Mika and I arrived a bit late (as expected) but the welcome was warmful and everybody ready to have good times. We had an excellent dinner (at Tofuro) with plenty of beers. And that only for 3,000 yens per person. Very cheap. This party was also the day they chose to gave award to their pl... [Read]

• Part time job (part 2)
• Thu. Dec, 8 2005

So, that's it, I have completed my first day at the restaurant, "Coq dore". I am quite exhausted and starving... I have spent almost 6 hours learning the job and cleaning everything that can be washed in a restaurant kitchen... Anyway, the atmosphere is nice, my sempai are nice as well: Mustapha-san (from Germany) and Nami-san (the real waitress) taught me almost everything and were kindly available when needed. Maybe that was because we were Thursday... I think the rhythm will get higher during... [Read]

• Part time job
• Wed. Dec, 7 2005

So, after one month here doing almost nothing, it is time to find a part-time job (while looking for a permanent one, as well) in order to prevent the money from running so fast from my wallet...
So, because I have enjoyed the last time at Mika's school, I have put some ads to find some students and give them some French classes at interesting price.
Meanwhile, I also went to an Italian restaurant looking for some staff, in Œ´h. I ... [Read]

• Rugby match
• Sun. Dec, 4 2005

So today, I finally met Momo san, the guy from the All Jin Jan rugby club I have been talking with since the end of August. Actually, I went to é‹ÊŒ§ to see the team play (and win) and also discover the club and its atmosphere.
I have to say that I have been really well surprised by what I have lived that day. In the ŽR“c‚³‚ñ's car, first on the way to... [Read]

• Finally
• Fri. Dec, 2^nd 2005

Today, a quick note with no link about Japan. But more to the past and the old news.
For, after 10 years or deliberate refusal of the English authorities, an islamist direcly involved in the 1995 bombings in Paris (10 dead and more than 250 injured people), R. Ramda, will be extradited in France for different trials. I think that is a good thing and many of the victims should be relieved to such a news. At least, for those who survive to these events. What a shame that some new deads and injure... [Read]

• Thu. Dec, 1^st 2005

Today I have maybe found something in myself that could allow me to earn some precious money in the coming weeks. For, as my schedule allowed it, I decided to come with Mika at her French class, in order to see how it does look and maybe make a special class, as I supposed the pupils are not used to speak with a native speaker.
As good thing never comes alone, the course was scheduled at 2h45pm. So, that would allow me to wake up a bit late (to recover from the past days) and also to use some ... [Read]
