We woke up at 6:00 since my hubby needed to leave early. The hotel has a pool on the roof-top which sounds nice but actually is too hot during day-time. So I figured early morning would be a good time to try it. As there was no Sunshine yet, it wasn’t hot at all, water was cold. But it was a luxury time using a pool alone with no one else, looking down the whole city. Since I hadn’t go out for sight-seeing much, I decided to visit a temple called the Golden Buddha Temple. The temple was 10 minutes away from the nearest station which is considered as quite close usually. However, in 35 digrees weather when even a monk needs a break to take a nap, it was far enough to get soaked with sweat. I paid my respect to buddha, but the golden buddha was a bit too shiny for me to believe it’s covered by real gold. And a foreign couple who asked me if it’s real, agreed with my opinion. After prayed to buddha, I went to my final shopping for souvenirs. Now I am all packed and recharging myself for the flight. Yummy:)
A Movie Day
My day started with a great news in Japan. It was a bit shame that I am away from the team while they were busy with providing follow-ups. But, I am sure I deserve this vacation. I went back to the massage salon today to try their foot-exfoliation which I truly loved. Now my feet are smooth as baby skin. Their shoulder and back massage was not bad at all either. I mormaly don’t choose the shoulder massage because it gives me a headache, but I was fine this time. With feeling lightness of my body, my next stop was a movie theater to watch 3D Beauty and the Beast. Since this was the first movie video which my parents bought for me to study English, I knew the whole story and even songs, I could simply relax and enjoy each scene, still couldn’t stop crying at the end;). We went to Si Lom, Japanese business town for our dinner today. Our first choice was wrong (Sorry hubby, no offense.) as the place was dominated by Japanese business men. Somtum Dir was much better as we can still feel that we are in Bangkok by listening Thai language. My last dinner was a fiesta as you can tell from the pictures. I’d never gotten tired of Thai cuisine.
45ヶ月
こればかりはでは英語では言い尽くせなそうなので母国語で。45ヶ月を要したITプロジェクトが漸く人の目に触れるところまで来ました。もはや長すぎて、その時々の出来事を細かく表現出来ませんが、富士山を3回程度登った気がします。何よりキツかったのは、人を動かすこと。期待と違う「報連相」にスケジュール・予算の調整に四苦八苦する中、励ます、怒るを繰り返し、何とか頑張ってくれ、と念じた回数は数え切れません。自分の役割に苦痛も疑問も沢山感じて来ましたが、何とか節目に到達できました。社会に貢献するという偉業を達成したと自負して、まずは今日を記念したいと思います。ふ〜っ。
