iPhone and bottles

Posted on May 14, 2013 by Muravej

I was busy today with two lectures. In the evening, I was running out for a meeting. I jumped and broke my iPhone 5 I bought with Katya last December. I did not know that the screen was so fragile. Other than the screen, it worked, but I need to replace it to a new one, anyway. I got shocked. After I came back home, we had deliveries. BODY SHOP bottles from the director of our institute, for whom we held a party for his awards. Wines I bought at “Tomi no Oka” on Sunday. I am looking forward to trying them.

Katya, Mariya, Maya-san and I left our apartment for Shimosuwa at 4:30 PM. Katya drove me to Shimosuwa Production Support Center directly for my talk. She then went to my parents’, left Maya-san, and,  with Mariya, went  to see her Ukrainian friend living in Shimosuwa. In the seminar, eleven people came to listen to me, who were managers and engineers of  small industrial companies in/around Shimosuwa.

The director asked a visit of some of the members to our institute … Continue reading →

Posted on January 5, 2012 by Muravej

It was a cold, windy day again. Students are back to school after the winter holidays.  At 9 AM, everyone got together in a hall to listen to the director’s new-year speech. Then we went back to our works.  I was in my office doing my job. In the evening, professors had a small New Year party. Katya started to work, too. She said that without speaking English for two weeks, students forgot lot of words and phrases. We were about to take Maya-san out for a walk. Maya-san ignored us sitting on the sofa, knowing that it was very cold outside. We put a sweater on reluctant Maya-san. While … Continue reading →

I arrived at Kofu station at 6:15 AM by my motor cycle. For early breakfast, I took a beef bowl at Yoshinoya in front of the station. Then I took a bus to Tokyo. The bus was late by an hour because of a traffic jam. I arrived at the conference site in Odaiba at 10:30 PM.    Our institute director carried out a 40-minute speech.  I helped him with the poster presentation.  Our presentations ended with no problem. I took a bus back to Kofu at 5:30 PM from Shinjuku. It arrived at 7:40 PM at Kofu station. I took a motor bike back home. Natalia brought Russian bread from Russia … Continue reading →
