CherryTravels: Jersey City

   

My trip to Jersey City via Instagram - Starbucks on the way (Matcha green tea latte) - Kogemashi Too's Chirashi Royale - Complementary Miso soup & Edamame from Kogemashi Too plus a glass of plum wine - Getting my nails done at Polish Me Spa in Newport - a highlight of my dinners from Michael Anthony, Komegashi Too and Fire & Oak

Hello everyone!

I realized that it's been a LONG time since I last blogged - I am seriously sorry about the lack of updates, but when a new job comes and I just haven't had time to really take photos and properly review products, I just don't bother writing some random filler material.  Some people might think this is a bit of filler (it's all to do with my business trip...) but seeing that I had done a similar post for my business trips to Toronto and Halifax, I figured this would be appropriate nonetheless.

I ended up going to Jersey City in the state of New Jersey by myself rather than with my team because I got hired about a month after my team.  The North American head office is switching over to Canada instead so the knowledge transfer is taking place now.  Anyways that bit of background aside, I went there for two weeks though I had to come back the weekend because I had some prior appointments on the weekend I couldn't get out of (bummer)

CherryTravels: Toronto and Halifax in 2 weeks (Part 2)

Holy moly yes...I realize that it's been a while and that my Part 2 is long overdue.  So sorry about that (it's already been more than a month since I went to Halifax oopsies) - work has been busy and the weekends have been equally busy, and I've been tired like you cannot imagine (work, lack of sleep...lots of things going on).

However, I'm determined to get this entry done (and another one soon) so here we go!

CherryTravels: Toronto and Halifax in 2 weeks (Part I)

I did not bother taking any photos of training catering because it's not really THAT amazing (well it was tastier than Montreal catering)

The UFE was finished September 13th (yipee) and the firm I work for allows for an extra week off before starting back.  Lucky for me, I had two weeks for training (missed them during my study break) before I went back to work - it was like another two weeks extra vacation, since training is a no-brainer (having come back from studying the entire Handbook anyways for the big exam I just wrote), the firm puts us up for the time we are out of town and we have meal allowance.  The only drawback?  Having scheduling issues that couldn't be resolved right away, meetings that were REALLY important that had to be scheduled when I got back (which I'm anxious for because it could change a lot in the coming few months in terms of workload) and of course...not seeing the boyfriend.
