Staying in Japan has never been this good

It has been a week since I arrived in Tokyo, Japan. Upon arrival late at night, I hurriedly went to Shinjuku Washington Hotel where I was billeted. The first time I entered the lobby,smiles of the Japanese greeted me and it felt so warm. My tired body just went energized as they smile all the way until the time I entered my room. Japanese politeness was so catching that eventually I managed to even smile and bow at the same time to everyone I meet.





The hotel is so near the Shinjuku Station and the Tokyo Government Tower. From where I am at, I can see the beautiful view of Shijuku-ku and its surroundings. The place is so clean and very orderly. The staffs clean your room and changes all toiletries, sheets etc everyday so you won't have to worry about the cleanliness if you are concern of your hygiene. Internet connection is also provided though you have to configure it yourself.

Worrying about food and grocery needs? You don't have to. All of those are available at the 1st floor and basement area. You can find all sorts of restaurants for your different cravings. Family Mart and Mini Stop is also available 24 hours.

Staying in Japan has never been this comfortable. Have a pleasant stay in Japan. Ja Mata.

JDS Batch 9 Send Off - Japan Embassy
20 JDS Fellows had their send-off ceremony last August 4, 2011 at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Makati City. It was well represented by the representatives from the Embassy of Japan, NEDA, DFA and JICA. After the send-off two fellows who will be studying at the International Christian University will go ahead of the pack on August 5, 2011 and have their separate orientation in Tokyo, Japan while the remaining eighteen scholars will leave on the 29th of August. Surely this is a great challenge and opportunity to represent our country and show to the world that Filipinos are made to excel.
