Today I had a traditional turkey dinner among a room full of white people :)
It was a nice change of pace! My Japanese work colleagues were impressed that I found out about this event all on my own! (They had no idea such a thing existed in Nagoya!) I can't take full credit... the Americans I met in my apartment building put a bug in my ear, but I did have to do some internet searching of my own!
Work has been good lately. I have been Miss Popularity in the office. All of the ladies are scrambling to be my lunch companion. (Guys not so much... what the heck?!) Anyway, I'm giving out my mobile phone number like crazy, and hopefully someone will take the bait and entertain me this weekend!!
Wait a minute, let me give some credit to the guys here... My lunch date on Wednesday told me that the guy who sits next to her wanted to throw me a Christmas party in December!! LOL, of course I said yes! So I confirmed my availability on the date he was hoping for, and he (I've never met him!) is going to start planning and inviting his friends, plus a few other people in the office I work with! The whole thing is so bizarre. In addition to this party, my social calendar is getting quite full in December with work events. We have a Farewell/Welcome Party next week because our General Manager is transferring, so we're getting a new one, and we have a Year-End Party for Mitsui, as well as a Year-End Party for my department.
