Company group training gives me great chance to meet genial friends to hang out with. Although members of the group are soon going to be allocated different divisions, I went to Nagano with them to spend a weekend at a cottage of one of the members. Even in the middle of July, climate on the mountains are still a bit cold, but really comfortable to strolling outside. We went to famous Soba (Japanese noodle) place to taste it, took a walk to visit time-honored shrine at the top of mountain, did BBQ and played with fireworks by midnight. Great fun!! I'm so happy to be colleague with them.
