Troubleshooting

At around 1AM, I got a call from Tokyo and I had to fix some problems with my staff. I have to be prepared for this kind of troubles and emergency will always haunt me as a correspondent. I have to try my best not to get my fingers burned and my senses will always be tested with each coming challenge!

After doing some work for the radio and for the world channel, I couldn't resist taking a nap on the sofa of my office... I'm so sleepy and tired... I hope I could get a day off Friday!

In the afternoon, after I left the hotel I was staying at for five days, I moved into my new room. It's nearly eight times larger than the room I stayed for eight years in Tokyo. Without any household goods from Tokyo which were yet to arrive, I had to somehow live in this grand room, but with all the furniture that was left, I think I could go on for years. I really hope I can get some company, as all this space might make me go crazy and in the winter it would quite be freezing. I think I broke the record of the size of living space I have as the largest one I was living in was the 4LDK room at Awajishima about 11 to 10 years ago, which is probably only a half of my new room. I know it would be tough, but I have to try to enjoy this and be thankful!

I had a small party with my predecessor and his wife at his hotel room. I know it would have been a tough three years here and all I could do was appreciate the great pains he has gone through. And my hope is that I would like to do the best as he has done here and make my successors eager to take my place after a couple of years!
