Hooked up with B to say my last goodbyes to R, who is leaving Tokyo on Tuesday, after only just arriving to start a new life two months earlier. R is a real smart guy. So smart that he can nonchalantly give up a job in a top investment bank just because he "didn't like it" (also giving up all the perks that go along with it), then easily get himself accepted into a top MBA course in France and at the same time not have any doubts that the said investment bank (notorious for getting the hump with people who dare to leave) will want him back afterwards. And throughout all of this upheaval and professional turmoil, never once appear to have a care in the world.
Anyway, after some excellent Korean yakiniku nearby (you know it's good when Korean Embassy bods hang out there), we lounged about his spacious but now empty apartment drinking wine and wearing my shades, which I incidentally needed by the time I got home... sun was coming up. Oh the shame.
