A MANGO!

For people who haven’t heard that Japanese fruit is expensive, look at the price of the mango.

It costs JPY6,900. It’s $58.

Who is going to pay about $60 for A MANGO?!

Just for your information, the watermelon right next to the mango costs more than 100 bucks!

Sakura

It is spring, everybody!
Here are Sakura blossoms! Hanami season!

"Hanami" is the Japanese traditional custom of enjoying spring by viewing Sakura (Cherry blossoms.) But most of the time, "Hamami" turns just outside drinking party. That is why we love Hanami!!

I was invited to "Hanami" which is planed by my bosses. Of course, I said I wouldn't go. I don't want to spend my free weekend with my bosses. Especially, I see my immediate boss too much everyday.

During lunch break, my colleague and I went to an ancient moat near from our office. Those cherry blossoms just started blooming beginning of this week. But now, they are in full bloom.

The National Art Center, Tokyo

I went to the National Art Center, Tokyo at Roppongi with my colleague.
The building was beautiful and interesting design.
It was designed by Kisho Kurokawa who is a very famous architecture in Japan.

There is a restaurant of Paul Bocuse who is a famous french Sheff. There was looooong line for the restaurant. It must be very good. But I didn't go. I don't have patience to wait for the line.

This building should serve as a symbol of Tokyo, both visually and functionally. But I have to say that I didn't like this art center functionally. Especially, I didn't like the light in the exhibition room. It should help to show arts beautifully. But the light at the Center made a lot of refractions of the light on the oil paints and photo. Also, it created unnecessary shadow on the arts.

Messy

Here is the picture of my office.
I believe it is same as other event companies.
It is so messy.
A lot of printed materials, programs, leaflets, congress bags, name tags, and etc.

I wish my office is much organized.

I am back!

I am back to the Blogger!!

I miss you, Ricky!
