同じ釜の飯を食う🍚
Last week we had OceanBridge Inc., our subarashii bijinesupātonā (excellent partners) from #Tokyo, visiting us in #Amsterdam 🇯🇵🇳🇱
It was really so good to see Akira-san and Norikazu-san in person after 4 years 😊
They also bought so many tasty snacks, sake and whiskey from Japan - ARIGATOU 🙏🏼
We managed to catch a beautiful sunset from the roof of our office over looking the city centre 🌅
Of course we had lots of fun and shared some good times together - proost was replaced with KANPAI and used in abundance 🍻
I still remember when we met all of those years ago the wisdom that OB's CEO, Akira-san shared with us and has stuck with me to this day 🦉
His "Taketombo" Theory 🚁
A Taketombo is a bamboo-copter, or dragonfly, a popular Japanese children's toy helicopter rotor that flies up when its shaft is rapidly spun 🆙
His universal theory states that happiness is when the three equal-lengthed axes (representing the rotary wings) of "family," "work," and "time to yourself" are in balance ⚖️
The shaft of the bamboo-copter, which is the most important part, represents "health" ❤️
We value the work of your incredible Team and we are proud of our partnership 🤝🏼
Thank you for your continuous support and wishing us many more years of success together 🚀
It was also very nice to welcome our awesome new colleague Pedro, who was also in town from São Paulo and will be our Implementation Manager - bem-vindo amigo 🙌🏼
