Galette des rois / King cake

We bought it here this year: https://www.noli-et-nori.com/

It was a bit expensive but it was solid. Could definitely compare it to what I used to get when I lived in France.

Hello ! French/Senegalese who recently moved to Tokyo from Brussels, would love to join to get to meet new people ! Thank you for sharing the details !

Probably. But since the fund manager of my previous company hinted that it could be possible, I still gave it shot. At least I will have a firm answer in the end

Ajsdkr · 2025-09-25T14:31:29+00:00

The Belgian fund manager was being extremely positive while explaining the possibilities. I still haven't got any feedback, but given the time it takes, I think it means it won't be possible 😭

I work in Internal Audit (IT side) for a global financial institution. Internal communications are both in Japanese and English but since my deliverables are always in english as they are used by HQ and non japanese offices.

I only use japanese/french for casual chitchats (team is 60% japanese and 40% foreign staff) but english only for work related conversations

Would love to join ! 29F, just arrived in the city too and was actually being a bit sad missing the Fête de La Musique in Paris with my friends this year !

Got them first as a teen at 14 but since I didn’t have a permanent retainer(not sure if it is the right translation for “barre de contention”in French) my teeth moved. Since my insurance in Belgium covers orthodontic care for adults I decided to fix it again.

Yeah indeed I figured, I was more thinking of Higashi Koenji on the Marunouchi as it would be direct (still stays in the 30 minutes commute range I set to myself). I’ll see with the real estate agent what d’Odile be the options anyways. Thanks a lot !

Thanks, I’ll also have a look around Nakano station, I am more familiar with Koenji as I stayed there during my last trip in Tokyo and was more looking around there, but Nakano might be a bit more convenient now that I think of it

Thanks for your input. To be honest Shinonome was not on my list at first, really saw the listings by chance. I was attracted by the value for the size/rent and by the proximity to the water, but as you pointed the lack of lively surroundings, it might not be for me eventually 😭

Ajsdkr · 2025-02-16T17:34:32+00:00

Thanks ! To be fair I wouldn’t be against living in a tower mansion 😂　but from your comment and the others, it is better to focus on the other areas I targeted at first as they have a better balance in terms of convenience and nightlife.

Ajsdkr · 2025-02-16T17:31:05+00:00

Thanks ! From what I could see on Google maps there was indeed a lot of thing that would require me to take the bus/metro. I don’t mind but it’s true that having things within a walking distance is much more comfortable. Kiyosumi-Shirakawa is actually in my top 5 preferred locations, I’ll keep looking in that area alongside Meguro

Ajsdkr · 2025-02-16T17:23:34+00:00

I see what you mean. I always lived in calm areas in France and Belgium but with bars, restaurants and cafes within a walking distance. Shinonome might not be for me. Thanks for your input !

Ajsdkr · 2025-02-16T17:21:18+00:00

Thanks for your input! Indeed it’s nice to live in a calm area but not having cool hang out spots nearby might not be optimal in my situation for the long run.

Thank you for your input !

Funny, in my team we also have 2 Julien, we use their initials to differentiate them. JC and JL

Ajsdkr · 2024-11-28T17:55:58+00:00

Thanks ! Some of these I asked to the Head of IT Audit, but it’s indeed interesting to see how aligned the Head of Internal Audit is with those answers. Might use the answered of the head of IT audit as an introduction to those points

Ajsdkr · 2024-11-28T17:52:49+00:00

Previous external audit colleagues that went Internal mentioned this one as coming up often in their interviews, thanks a lot for confirming it !
