the new mashams

Tokyo, 2010.05.10

Some seven-eight months ago, our friends the Mashams moved away to Barcelona. At last, their apartment is once again occupied.

With more gaijin. Passing their building, I spotted a foreign couple standing on the balcony of what had been the Mashams place. I called up to them, confirmed that they'd just moved in, and told them "welcome". I mentioned that I'd known the previous tenants, and the fellow guessed, "were they foreign, too?"

Three good things that happened today:1. got back into the swing of working on the business2. our intern came up with some more really good work3. we got some usable translation work done (at last)
