CEATEC 2008
CEATEC = Technology Porn. It is where the the people go for the next generation technologies. Check out the number of working people going there.
At such shows, there is of course technologies and show girls. But of course, we are more interested of the formal.
From the usual robots, to the up and coming technologies. The concept gadgets and even research ideas.
Super High contrast TV.
Check out how thin tv is going to become. There is even a OLED TV from sony that is 0.3mm and it can be bent (too many people to catch a photo)
Magnet so strong it can act as a shock absorber.
pure technology sex....so HOT!!!!

Japan's ever changing fashion
My sis showed me this picture and asked if I have seened it before. I was pretty shocked to see that. Hell, I want to see that, just for interest.And while watching this demostration of playing music by different wave frequencies, I realised the model is wearing one! *EYES WIDE OPEN* Interesting.....

My once a month indulgence
Once a month I meet up with my friends from training for a 2-3 hours drinking session. It gets alittle expensive in addition to other drinking sessions I have with other people. But It is nice to catch up with them and....there are other incentives too, it you know what I am talking about *twiddles thumbs*.
Dinner with the Dive peeps
Went to have dinner at a Miyazaki (Kyushu) restaurant with my diving kakis over here in Japan. The meal was good, but a tad expensive. Good company and many first time dishes for me.
Saw this chicken dish in a guide book when I went to Kyushu, wanted to try it but Miyazaki was really too far.
Chicken Sashimi, I was pretty worried as raw chicken is not really my thing, but this was actully pretty good.
I like this dish because I can really taste the freshness of the food. It came in a bamboo box where they steam it for about 10mins.
You pour the cold sesame stock into the rice and eat this dish. Pretty good once you get use to cold main dish (pretty normal in Japan).
Just a note to add, the average temperature here is about 18-20 deg now. Have to start layering real soon.

Shimokitazawa
I finally decided I need some travel time out alone and I decided to go to Shimokitazawa (下北沢) which is like a place where tourists do not go and the Japanese crowd is passionate about.
On the way here on the internal Keio line, I saw Hello Kitty telling you to becareful of the door.
It is a maze here, I seriously do not know how to navigate the area. It almost felt like a cheaper version of Jiyugaoka but with a lot more to offer, less dessert shops. This is as quaint as it can be in Japan. One side of the train station, there are tons of little shops, tons of shopping.
You know the photos don`t do justice here, you have to make a trip there to feel the difference from the touristy place. You dont find the weird cosplays etc, but it still is a fun place to go.
The other side of the station, it becomes alittle more like the Tokyo City. A lot more food places, but at least you get specialise shops. Nothing like those chain restaurants.
Found a nice icecream shop.
on a Biscuit cup!
If you explore it further, you will find lots of pubs and places with live music. Lots of places for bands to jam too. Will like to come back here to check out the pubs.
