Now that I have shifted to a new place (an apartment, a place I call my own home), almost one and a half months ago, I think it's time to get a broadband back home the moment I am back from Itami City , near Osaka City in Japan. Speaking of being in Japan, yes, it is indeed an exciting experience to be in Japan for the first time, albeit for 3 months only. I am sent by my company here for the first 3-month training. The parent company I am sent to is known as Mitsubishi-Renesas in Kita-Itami (north of Itami). Itami City is not really a big city, compared to either Kobe or Osaka City. One ...
