Firsts

Last Monday was my first time to leave the Philippines, to be exact, to leave mainland Luzon. I am now here at Yokohama, Japan for a year or so of project assignment at our company`s head office.

But that is not the only first time I had this week. Let me share it to you.

This is my first time to travel alone in a very strange land. This is also my first time to ride an airplane. Obviously, this is my first overseas adventure.

Last monday was my first time to eat authentic ramen. And in 5 days time, I already had eaten to 5 different Japanese restaurant here in Yokohama - three of which are the famous ramen houses: Jiro, Ichiran and Yokohama Ramen.

This is also my first time to experience autumn. And for sure, this will be my first time to see all 4 seasons.

This is also my very first time to buy a laptop for myself, and this post is the very first using it.

I am looking forward to experiencing many other firsts in my stay here at Yokohama. And I would want to put these things, and more of my Japan experience, into chronicles. And I@ll be doing these on this blog.

O and should I say, this is the very first time that I will be posting a blog at wee hours, when everyone seems to be sleeping already.
