百感交集

A week in Tokyo has passed, different feelings come around in this week.

Frustration - Tokyo is a place that most would love for shopping and for food. But this time I find, not knowing the language has really caused a lot of hiccups at work. A meeting that can normally finish in an hour has been doubled in time. 還常有種書到用時方恨少的感覺;

Lonely - everyone around you are talking in a foreign language and you don't really have "friends" in here, makes you feel more lonely than you can imagine. The frequent travelling over the last few months brings me an "unsettled" yet routine feeling. Routine: pick what movie to see on the plane, buy bottled water to ensure not to become dehydrated, watch TV in hotel room; Unsettled: missed a lot of things back home.

Tired - the long day of work and the mental pressure of not being able to finish certain task can push you to the point of exhaustion;

Fear - the other non-Japan work issues are getting more complicated, all has come back to haunt me again; not knowing but thinking of what might happen is really emotionally draining;

While having all these mixed feelings, the weak faith behind the back of my mind that God is control and everything is possible in Him, has been the strength to continue on. Faith seems to come "live" in times of adversity.

Move on, another week to go....
