I’m too occupied with work so that I don’t have any motivation for cooking or dining out.
I received Nagano Beer, Captain Crow, and like the bitterness of hop.
I knew her from work.
She finished her term in Japan and will return to her country in two weeks.
We never went out privately, but I asked her for a dinner.
We started Robatayaki (charcoal grilled food) dinner at Ginza Hakobune Shizuku at 6 pm.

We had so much fun, so we continued our chat at Tommy Bahama, Ginza.
There is a dining place at Tommy Bahama’s butique.
I returned from Palau yesterday.
I wanted to post frequently, but internet connection was bad, terribly bad in Palau.
The internet condition will improve next year after optical fiber reaching Palau.
Ocean is so beautiful there.
German Channel
Manta, Manta, Mannttaaaaaaa!
Manta swam over meeeeee!!!
Handsome Turtle
Big one, small one, could they be a family?
The landscape is beautiful.
So mysterious; bless taking.
Napoleon Fish
Ocean is clear and peaceful.
There are many fish and early riser, Baffalo Fish greated me.
I booked a flight using mileages for my diving trip to Palau.
My flight is conveniently at 8:50 pm from Narita Airport allowing to work at office till 5 pm to rush to the airport.
Narita Airport is not opened for 24 hours; the last flight departs before 10 pm.

The airport is quiet at this time.

I had dinner at Snack & Cafe Avion

Yeah, these are definitely snacks!

I’m waiting for my boarding time… fufufu
Boarded and waiting for take off!!!
I am invited for the Palace Hotel’s reception to have a hotel tour and to enjoy their drinks and food.
The Hotel is located nearby the Imperial Place and Marunouchi Financial District, Tokyo; the view from the hotel is nice and open.


The hotel is a member of the Leading Hotels of the World with nice facilities.
Banquet Rooms



Fortunately, my boss couldn’t make it to this event because he was ordered to attend a meeting that he couldn’t escape from.
I had nice drinks, food and chat with my friend from a sister organization.
Her boss cannot make it, neither because he caugh a flue: influenza.
We simply enjoyed the event without our superiors presence!
Furthermore, the event is free!
And so sweet of them, I received a door gift: raisin and cranberry witches.
My friends from Singapore gave me this Singaporean brand TWG Alfonso (Mango) Iced Tea for a sourvenir.
It has rich Mango fragrance and deep flavour.
It turned my room into a nice cafe.

In the evening, I remember I have a voucher that expires on 31 August 2017 for a free sandwich or desert at Tokyo Midtown, Roppongi, Tokyo.
I decided to get a sandwich and juice for dinner.

Unfortunately, a store that I picked sold out an egg sandwich so I got a pudding.

To my sirprise, Recipe and Market’s pudding is so eggy!
It’s small, but can give you satisfaction!

Tonight, I enjoyed Apple Wine at the dinner with Mom.
We went to Hokkaido last year and bought this unique apple wine on 25 September 2016 at Nikka Wiskey Factory, Yoichi, Hokkaido.
If you are interested in Hokkaido, please check my previous blog.
We showed photos each other and shared our memories.
We also plan for our next trip♪
On the way to the diving shop, I thought I’m lucky today because I found two crabs on the street.
This is Mikomoto Hammers, specialized in Hammerhead Sharks.

However, I could upload only these fish: threeline grunt, yellow striped butterfish, etc.
Between divings, I ate threeline grunt at Moki, Umi no Ie (Beach House Restaurant), Yumigahama Kaigan (Yumigahama Beach) Nuhahaha


Unfortunately, I couldn’t catch even one Hammerhead Shark; though, I appreciate Komei-san for his warm hearted guide and teaching me to improve my diving skills.
