Live by myself on weekends

Yes! It's Thursday night! .... this is my beginning of my weekend. Yahooooo!


I am now working for Canadian research comany, and mainly doing reseach of Forign Direct Investment(FDI) of Japanese companies. Meaning..... I am in charge of Japanese market. Needless to say, we have time-difference.... 14 hours between Montreal and Japan. As the result, my working hours shift to Japanese way, but still it's so difficult to work completely on Japanese business time that.... I work from 4pm to 11pm, from Sunday to Thursday. Haha, I can spend weekends much earlier and longer than real Japanese Biz people! Haha!

In addition to that, my lovely roommate spends almost half of her days with her boyfriend's place. Of course I really love to share time with her, especially chatting with her, but from another view point, I can spend my own time as I please! Haha, it sounds super! eh?


Whatever, now I am sitting with a glass of vodca on the rocks, twist grapefruits.... happiest moment of my life.


Well, anyway, I truely love this life. If I am allowed to wish more, I need more time to practice my English. In that meaning, sharing time with my roommate is perfect for me. She is highly intelligent woman.. especially on the point of her communicative attitude. We can enjoy talking about many things..... Today, as I mentioned in my Japanese blog, we talked about Canadian culture things... namely, about Acadian culture. Her background is Acasian, and her ancesters were from France, like many Québécois. I've never heard the word "Acadian" nor "Acadiens", so her story was totally new for me.

Since I came to Montreal, I've met so many nationalities, in not only daily life, but also in my work places. Sometimes I encounter culutual gap that I can never fill, but.... differences are just that. No need to overcome... I mean... the impant thing is just to respect that. That's it.


To respect, I want to understand things what they are. That's one of the biggest reason ,at the same time, the most fun part of wandering this wonderland.

Thanks to everything and everybody, I can feel world like this.
I have many things to know, still!

Good night,
and have a nice weekend!

To those who I love

Dear Friends,

Bonjour! How've you been doing ? I am super fine in this beautiful, but freezing Montreal.

Well.... I have kept in my Japanese blog for about 3 years.... my itenary,pictures, thoughts and nearly everything I experienced. The time I decided to resume my study English was when I started my Japanese Blog, "Oyo's Ploy". English is, needless to say, not my language, so Enlish had been... well.. just "one of the subjects I had to take". For that reason, English was just a thing that is not mine, not the way that I use to express myself. For that reason, this blog has been also for my practice or something like that.

But it's been almost 3 years. I mean, since I began to thing English as a "communication tool". Lucky me, now that I have many many friends who I cannot stop loving. For my dear friends who don't speak nor read Japanese, I decided to restart this English blog as a way to tell my days in Canada, and elsewhere.

Well, that's the main reason I am back here. I am quite not not not sure how long it's gonna lasts, but rather than writing "not so often" emails, I kept things here.

Anyway.... my Enlish is not so good...　Please no flames about .... about my bad English! :p


Have a nice day!
Oyo xoxo
