First thing I'm going to do is vent a bit about work so just bare with me for a few lines.
Last couple of days work has almost turned into a four letter word that shouldn't said be in polite company, ever thing's OK but there too much talking about nothing. We are almost to the stage where we have a meeting to arrange another meeting and things seems to get said over and over again and it's doing my head in a bit. Sorry if that sounds a bit negative but I'm not kidding people keep repeating the obvious all the time it probably wouldn't be so bad if it was only mentioned once but it gets repeated. Sometimes I think i must come from a different planet, maybe it's just that i was brought up in a different work environment. This hasn't just started it's been going on for a long time now meetings for the sake of meetings repeating the obvious all the time, just seems to have got to me over the last couple of days and I felt like venting a bit so there you go. Things could be worse at least the pays good well it's not bad anyway, enough of this got to get to bed early have a meeting first thing tomorrow to arrange the afternoons meeting, so got to plow on with.
The last week or so has just shot past can hardly believe it's almost the end of February, don't worry it'll be Christmas before you know it and will all start again.
Haven's done a lot in the last couple of week hence no blogs, well that's not exactly true last Sunday had a drive up to Nikko, cant find a web address for it but you can see it on this link http://wikitravel.org/en/Nikko basically it's one of the best shrines in Japan and a real tourist attraction unfortunately i am not one of the best tourists, seen one shrine seen em all so to speak.
Seriously it's all very nice up there i say up there as it's quite a lot higher then where I'm living so it's a fair bit cooler when you finally make it. The town it,s self sort of a mix of the really old and the really new and the sort of half way stuff you find in most towns, lots of quaint little coffee shops, restaurants and arty type shops catering for all the tourists, which by the way there have not bee that many of them when I've been there, probably more a summer destination. Anyway i still need to go again Sundays follow Saturday and i go out Saturday nights get in late or early Sunday mornings take your pick, sleep in and the rest is history. Basically i was late getting to Nikko and did not have time to see a lot. I'd been hoping for some snow up there though i hear it's really nice and picturesque with snow on the ground and we'd had snow a few days before that where I'm working, no snow there when i got there though.
Went out fora a meal the other day as one of the German guys at work was going home and was not coming back so we all went to the "Big Menu Chinese" have mentioned this place before and got to say it's a nice place and the food is always great. I had the lambs liver and leek concoction, i like Liver anyway and it was really good. The rest had an assortment of stuff normally we just share everything but this time we didn't which suited me as my liver was as they say very moreish and i will definitely have it again some time when i go back. The other thing that is good about the restaurant is that the staff are all very friendly, but there again i find that with everyplace i go over here. There's no surly looking faces letting you think they are doing you a favour by serving you and could you please eat up quickly so they can finish.
Like i say not an awful lot has been going on, I'm pretty much working 6 days a week now so on the seventh i tend not to do a lot and treat it as a day of rest as it was intended to be in a biblical sense but just miss out the church bit.
Photos haven't turned out to well from the restaurant but don't blame me I'm in them not taking them, my camera is crap though really need to get a new one.
