Life back in Cambridge
Life back in Cambridge.
I've never lived in English speaking country, so this short transfer to Cambridge was a very cool experience.
Calm quiet morning. Town wakes up early and sleeps early too. I remember rushing into the "Sainsbury's" supermarket to buy groceries.
On the weekdays study on campus and on the weekends get on to the bullet train for short trip to London or Oxford.
In London, walking around the old and modern streets and feeling like a Londoner.
I've actually been to London more than 10 times in my life but never get bored.
In Oxford, compare to Cambridge it felt more modern and pretty crowded with cars and people. I quite liked Cambridge more than Oxford for being able to feel the nature right next to you.
If I have chance to visit again, I will never want to leave Cambridge again.
That's how much this town made me fall in love.
#帰国子女あるある
帰国子女ってよくひとくくりにされるけど、
実際もっと複雑なのになーって毎回思う。
地球上にはアメリカ以外にも国めっちゃあるのに、だいたい“帰国子女“っていうと。
“へーそうなんだ！じゃあ英語ペラペラなんだね！“とかとかw
世界中が逆に英語だけだったら、楽だわ～
また帰国子女同士でも
“何州？パンダエクスプレス懐かしいよね！！！“とかとか
何州でもないし、パンダエクスプレスってなんだし
こういう大半の帰国子女枠に当てはまらない者もいるのです。
でも、内面やファッションでは結構共感できることがある。
例えば、ビーサンは海に行くときに履くだけじゃない！学校行くときもビーサンでしょ
とか
何かとスタバにいったら、当たり前のようにVENTIサイズ頼んじゃう
とか
洋服はパーカーで、スキニージーンズか短パンが多めw
とか
髪型とか前髪があーだこーだこだわってる事事態がめんどくさい。とりあえず結んどけばいいでしょ！っていうMessy Bun
とか
ローマ字がキリル文字に見えたり
（これはあんまないかw）
とにかく帰国子女というのは、単なるカテゴリーであって。
みんなそれぞれの個性を持って生きています。
Good Girls Revolt
RECENT favorite Amazon Prime Original Drama :)
"GOOD GIRLS REVOLT "
In 1969, while a cultural revolution swept through the free world, there was still one place that refused to change with the times: newsrooms. Good Girls Revolt follows a group of young female researchers at "News of the Week," who ask to be treated fairly. Their revolutionary request sparks convulsive changes and upends marriages, careers, sex lives, love lives, and friendships.
(Amazon.com )
Though, the place takes about 50 years ago it is a great drama that can relate to our lives in 2017.
It talks about racial discrimination, gender difference, and how women fights against for their rights!
Good series to watch on Amazon Prime :)
Россия
Yesterday just reminded me of my life back in Russia.
真冬はー30度、真夏は+30度
ー25度以下になると学校は休校になる。
住みなれるとー10度が暖かく感じ始め、春が来たな～なんて思う。
今から思っても、結構究極なところに住んでたな～と思う。
私が住んでいた、2005-2009年の4年間だったけど未だに旧ソ連という国だったのかーと、ロシア人のおじいちゃんやおばあちゃんから感じとれた。
冬になるとスーパーに青菜野菜が消える。。。
そして唯一あるのは、葉っぱの枚数がだいぶ少なくなった白菜。
毎回、絶対この八百屋さん何枚か自分で白菜使ったでしょ！！！って思ってたw
*高級スーパーには真冬でもある程度の青菜野菜やユニークな野菜がそろっている
It's so interesting that when you eat ice cream outside in Russia when it's around -20....
ice cream feels warmer lol
でも夏場は、町中が花でカラフルになる
道路のいたるところに、いろんな色のチューリップがたっっっっっっーっくさん植えられる。
夏は夏で綺麗だし、冬も冬で綺麗だから
死ぬまでに一度はいってほしい
そしてスタバやユニクロもある今
いつになったらケンタッキーが来るのかが楽しみ！
また行きたいな～
また住みたいな～
帰国子女っていっても、ロシアとかに住んでたから、ほぼ他の帰国子女と共感できない部分も多いけど、貴重な経験でした。
You Are Beautiful!
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY!!!!!!! #russia#nationalholiday
When I used to live in Russia, there we're so many flower shops on the street.
ESPECIALLY, today women deserve a beautiful flowers from their loved ones!
This event reminded me of my life back in Russia, and also made me think about how women of our age are living around the world recently.
And today by coincidence I clicked the link called the "bossbabe "
The entrepreneur is just the same age as me, and she is making such a global standard marketing towards millennial girls.
All these straight forward quotes inspired me and gave me a courage to stand up for my future as one of millennial girl.
We are the generation to change the world!
Slowest in the World
Japan have great technology fast bullet trains, transportation arriving on time, almost no stealing, safest place to live on earth...
We'll it's all WRONG !!!!
Indeed, we do have great knowledge in certain fields and are praised for our own uniqueness.
But we should never feel satisfied for things we are good at.
We should feel a shame for things we are bad at.
8 reasons why Japan is slow and inefficient in business field.
1. Japan avoids risk, shuns challenges
2. “Making changes to the organization is great, but just don’t make me change.”
3. Go with what you know
4. Students are taught to “solve the easily solvable problem first.”
5. Lack of “high risk, high return” culture
6. No authority at the lower levels
7. HQ is number one
8. Meetings: always large, never personal
Instead of working over time and feeling sorry for leaving the office early.
I really do think that if u work efficiently, there is no need to stay long and feel sorry for starting your happy hours earlier that others.
It's so stupid to use your energy for something that won't make money!!!!!
Time is money!!!
That's what I wanted to shout out today lol
Have a good night :)
Girl Gone International
Millennial Generation in Japan is usually called as "Yutori " or "Satori " generations.
though they are young and powerful, it seems like the society is not really focusing on them and their future.
On the other hand, Millennial Generation in USA are receiving more hope and positive expectations.
I have read so many articles such as "NEW YORK TIMES " "TIMES " "FORBES " "WASHINGTON POST " "GUARDIAN " etc..
It seems like, the way how millennial generation react to the society are almost the same in both Japan and in USA.
Japanese elderlies hates to handle millennial in the company but that same feelings are understood by the adults in USA too.
Then why Japanese Millennial doesn't get any positive attention?!
It's because our generation is not a big generation when looking at the population graph the reason shows clearly.
Since we are few of those that would lead the world, I believe Millennals in Japan must fight against the stupid work place hierarchy that the elderlies loves!
Have a great Monday!!
