Rainy Tokyo

It's been raining all week... Even it's almost July, it's quite cold maybe around 22 C.

I hope this rainy season will end soon.

Biz Trip to Taiwan

It's been a while since my last post.
I was in Taiwan from end of May till last week to exhibit at Computex Taiwan (June 3-7), one of the biggest electronic trade show in the world. It was very very busy and tiring but was good experience and a lot of fun.

I arrived earlier to spend the weekend in Taipei, to see my friend and also to see my house where I used to live. It was one of my dream to visit my old place so I'm very happy that I could achieve my dream. I didn't remember anything since it's been almost 20 years...

The show was a success. We had very nice booth (I did the decoration!) , many customers were interested in bringing our product into their market. Now that back in Japan, it's my real job to contact them, discuss and negotiate to have a new business. We had many buyers from all over the world but my target is Dubai!! (well, kinda personal purpose because I want to go there and it's so expensive to go by myself)

Other than work, I dinned out a lot. Every night, either dinner with customer or company staffs, we went to have Taiwanese food, Shanghai food, beef noodles, noodles and noodles... Therefore, I was craving for sandwitches and cheese cake for lunch. Too much Chinese food is heavy for my stomatch... but you know, chinese people eat a lot!! I don't know why how can they eat so much and not being so fat!?

Anyway, I met many people during this trip. Everytime I could meet people and they treat me well, have fun together, I feel very lucky and appreciate this opportunity so much.

Taipei 101

Still the tallest building in the world (one in Dubai will be the tallest but still under construction), the top view was amazing. 508 m, 39 seconds to the top floor.

By the way, do you know what 101 means? It's a bit embarrassing but I had no idea what it meant. When we got to the top (91F), my co-worker started to count, 91, 92, 93..... 101! Then I noticed, wow 101 means 101 floors! Everyone looked at me probably thinking "you didn't know that? Anyone can guess what it means." well, I didn't...

Things I ate in Taiwan

These are just a few, unfortunately I didn't take any photos when I ate at a nice restaurants.
