Week 5: Azalea Flowers and Midterms

This week, I met up with 2 other Shidler students, Ocean and Kazuki, who is a UH Alumni. We went to see the Azalea shrubs at Nezu Shrine. The shrine is styled after the Tosho-gu Shrine in Nikko, Tochigi Prefecture, which is the final resting place of the Edo period's first shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu. The admission to see the azalea shrubs were really cheap, less than $2 or 200 yen. We also tried a trending donut shop called im donut ?. These donuts were filled with cream and had a similar taste to malasadas.

As it is nearing the middle of the Spring Quarter at Hitotsubashi, my classes started to pile up with midterms and projects. I studied at GAP cafe in Shinjuku and enjoyed a refreshing matcha latte. In my Advanced Finance course, I had a group presentation on the Enron scandal and the implementation of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002.
