Moving

Now I plan to purchase a condo and I will probably enter into a purchase contract this Saturday. Currently, I rent an apartment, but it is very small and the quality of the building is not so good. Also, the Japanese government assists me to purchase one by giving a tax merit this year. So, I decided to do so, although I must bear a huge bank loan (mortgage). My condo is located in Sendagaya, in Tokyo. It is just two stations from Shinjuku, the biggest downtown in Japan. However, because it has a lot of parks and trees, I am able to feel comfort enough to get ready for my work at the weekend. Sendagaya has the National Stadium where we can watch J league’s games, the professional soccer league in Japan there. My son is fifteen months old now, but I am looking forward to watching them with him, two or three years later when he becomes older. My wife is looking for furniture for our new condo. This Sunday, we will go to a furniture shop in Ginza to order a closet for the bedroom. Purchasing a condo is the biggest event this year for my family.

Start to write a blog!

I am a Tokyo business man. I am thirty years old. I work for a trading company called Sogoshosha in Japanese. I belong to the section of M&A and investment. I plan to go to graduate school for an MBA in the United States or somewhere in Europe like England, France or Spain. I am studying English very hard for TOEFL and GMAT, because my TOEFL score hasn't yet reached the level which is required by admissions of MBA programs. My friend recommends me to write a diary in English everyday, so I decided to start a blog. I will write affairs about my study for an MBA, raising my son who is fifteen months old, and my daily life in Tokyo in my blog. I have a very busy life everyday, due to studying for the MBA and taking care of my son. My wife works as full time, so I need to share the domestic work like cleaning, cooking, washing the clothes and so on. It is very tough for me to continue to study for at least three hours every day, but I want to make my dream, getting an MBA, come true.
