It was squid

Squid ink (not octopus ink) tastes pretty much exactly how is looks: thick, salty, heavy. It's worth a try if you ever get the chance.

I'm looking at two offers at the moment, both in the same industry. There might be another later, but we'll see. The choice between the two comes down to many smaller elements: payment structure, salary, company culture, co-workers, etc. It is going to be a tough choice because there are so many pros and cons to either choice. I aim to make a call by next Tuesday.

If I were to look into recruitment consulting again from the beginning, I would have applied to a lot more companies right off the top, just to give myself a better idea of what the characters of each employer was. I did apply to those who were advertising, but there are so many in Tokyo I could have had a much broader view of what is available.

I feel like I've become a connoisseur on internet cafés. A dead internet connection makes job searching a real pain. It's sketchy using a café because there is no security in these places. If you're ever in Tokyo and want to visit one just for the experience, try Manboo. If you need a cheap, cheap place to stay the night they have free softdrinks and showers. Discounts if you're a girl.

There are a lot of pictures waiting to go up on the travel map. Just have to get my computer back up and running.
