Day 3 (part 1)Got some spare time before my Japan counterpart finishes her operational work so that we can begin training her, so here I am blogging again... hahah, there really isn't much to do around here and I'm getting a little bit tired of Jap food... eww, but I can't get enuf of the cool weather though...
Some interesting stuff...
1) The cabs here all have GPS installed but the farnie thing is, the cabbies dun always use them. We took a cab back to the hotel last nite after dinner and the cabbie was trying to figure out how to get us back. So, boss passed him a card that the hotel front desk staff gave us, and he was like flipping the card back and forth. We were starting to wonder if the guy knows how to read when he said 'Ahhh'... Then he thought for a moment before driving off... Geez, we were ready to spend the rest of the night touring around Tokyo but it turned out that the guy knew where he was going and we were back in 10min. Cab fare? 1050 yen so that turns out to be about like almost SGD$12. Not too ex I guess for a 10min ride, considering the horror stories that I hear about cab fares...
2) All the toilet seats are fitted with those electronic gadgets that warms up the seat and sprays water to wash you up after you finished watever you were doing. Its cool but needs some getting used to... hahah
Alritey... back to work...
