		<description><![CDATA[It’s kind of late to write about Christmas and New Year now, but I had a great time with my family and I want to share some pictures I took from our trip.　We went to Singapore, departing from Jakarta, on December 25. We were actually on a tour to Myanmar but had intended to stop by in Singapore just to celebrate Christmas (and New Year’s Eve when we came back from Myanmar).

		<description><![CDATA[It has been more than a month since I updated this blog. It is mostly because of I had an awesome Christmas holiday back in Jakarta.
Pittsburgh was cold as hell. Need. To. Migrate.
It was a total of 25 hours of flight (exclusive of the transit time). I went with Emirates so I had to go from Pittsburgh -> New York -> Dubai -> Jakarta.
This was my first time in Dubai and I didn’t think that the airport would be that nice. The duty free shops open 24 hours and you would see people from many different countries passing here and there.
Since the transit time took more than 6 hours, Emirates gave me a room. Not a super luxurious one, but it is actually nice. Very comfy bed.
Oh yeah, I also got my flight upgraded to Business class, baby! >=)

		<description><![CDATA[So, how is it like to get an on-site interview from Qualcomm? It's... AWESOME. It feels more like a fun trip rather than a frustrating experience! Of course, they still grill you hard on the interviews. After all, you are applying to a top-notch company and that's how interviews are. But what awaits after those interviews are beaches, surfing, wave machines, volleyball, clubbing, great dinner and ferry tour at night to see San Diego's nightscape. And those are parts of your official 3-days interview schedule. You don't have to spend a single dime. Your mission is to get in to San Diego, ace the interviews, play at the beach, and get out. Not too bad, eh? =)

		<description><![CDATA[It has been a month since my last post. During these 2 months I have been extremely busy with job hunting in USA as well as research and study. Applying for jobs in the states has been tougher since the recession. For this reason, I tried not being too selective and applied to as many companies that still fall within my field of interest. I am interested in applying for jobs in Japan as well, that is why I also attended Boston Career Forum 2009, which is the biggest job fair for English - Japanese bilinguals. Basically, I was looking for positions as Software Developers/Engineers. This post broadly explains the processes involved in job hunting in USA and Japan (through Boston Career Forum). I hope this post will be helpful for people interested in applying to either.

		<description><![CDATA[Robots as Countermeasure Against Aging Population: This 30 minutes documentary discusses several social problems modern Japanese society is facing. Japan's low birthrate is caused by several factors. One being the recent tendency of Japanese women to postpone their motherhood to pursue career. Over 50% of Japanese women in their 30s are still singles. According to interview with the former chief of Tokyo's Immigration Bureau, Hidenori Sakanaka, the population decrease will still proceed even though the future married couples give birth to 2 children.

		<description><![CDATA[One night after a dance practice at CMU gym, my friends picked me up to have a dinner together.　We checked out a local American restaurant where college students usually hang out.
And as usual, the place is packed. To avoid the long wait time we decided to go to India Garden (!) because some of us, including me, were craving for Indian food. I have previously been there and I can say that it is the best place that serves Indian food I have ever dined at.
