The Office
















When:     Saturday, May 24, 11:45 AM
Where:   PwC Tokyo office
Why:       Family Day

Work.  It is one of the words that Max says and uses.  As Rich walks out the door in the morning, Max will sometimes say "work".   So it is fitting that we finally got to visit the mysterious destination that draws Daddy away the cozy confines of home.  

So we did the commute together on Saturday morning, taking the Hibiya line two stops, switching to the Maranouchi line and going two stops to Tokyo Station.  Rich proudly pointed out the Starbucks where he gets his coffee every morning and explained that he can make it from Roppongi Hills to his office entirely underground.  

There was a nice spread of food and we set out feeding ourselves and trying to keep Max from launching himself off of a very groovy red sofa in the "lounge" area.  Sadly, the Japanese staff all but ignored us. I introduced myself a couple of times and offered a family near us some potato chips but that was the extent of the mingling with Japanese.  I met some of Rich's other ex-pat colleagues but really spent most of the time either attempting to eat or chasing Max around. 

Rich finally took us to his office and Max settled down at the desk and made himself at home.   We attach a couple of pictures and a short video documenting Max's first day at The Office.
