My first karaoke night

Well going out after work is very common. Tuesday we had a little gathering with the Customer Satisfaction Department. At the Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi, UFJ (BTMU) building there is a cafe complete with beer, sake and shoju on the 23rd floor. I met my match in the japanese lady sitting next to me in the striped sweater. Alcohol and laughter transcends any language barrier. Luckily Wednesday was Japanese independence day and we had a day off in the middle of the week.

Friday night we met at a restaurant after a tour of BTMU's precessing centers and had appetizers and again more beer and sake. The fun came when someone had the bright idea to go sing karaoke. Nothing makes the statement that "I'm tone deaf" like karaoke. Of course that's not going to stop me. For those who know me well, fear is not in my vocabulary and pictures like these are sometimes the biproduct. Luckily for you all, there was someone to document this case.

Have I mentioned I love Japan! The people have been accomodating, gracious and kind. Tokyo is clean and easy to travel. The rest of my three months will be a whirlwind.
