Okay, finally have time to write this. I know I promised you all this post will be up last night but by the time I finished my Japanese test, I thought ‘sweets’ was a Japanese word. So obviously you all have an idea how splendid my performance must have been during the test. #failoredilalikethisOn a [...]

The last chat with Bibik
As she was giving me a back massage, we had a very interesting conversation (for which towards the end she was almost fired- hence the last chat):N: Bik, do you think she's prettier than me? *showing a picture on Instagram*B: (without hesitation and the tiniest bit of guilt) Oh, she's pretty, you're sweet.N: *red with [...]
Jane of all trades

Phone interviews
