Minutes to takeoff

I've forgot where and when I heard song name (or album name) "Minutes to takeoff". But long time ago, I heard that.
Now I'm in exactly such situation. The plane that I will on board will be takeoff at noon in JST. Yeah, minutes to takeoff!
About 2 years ago, I was in such situation. But destination is different. 2 years ago, it was Naha, Okinawa. This time, I'll go abroad.
Fortunately, the limitation of my passport have not been expired yet. But I must update it in this year, if I go abroad after this trip. Of course, I have enough time to update. My passport is in available for more than 6 months.
I think, I won't update my blog during my trip, but I'm gonna write about my trip after I came back.
Anyway, I hope the weather there would be nice!
Thank you.

But Tokyo Tower Still Shines


In Eastern Tokyo, the Tokyo Sky Tree is under construction. It will be 634 metres high tower, and it'll be the world's 2nd tallest building when its final completion. The Tokyo Sky Tree is about 534 metres high now.

On the other hand, Tokyo Tower opened in 1958. And since then, it was the world's tallest self-standing steel tower. It's 333 metres high. So, the Tokyo Sky Tree became the world's tallest self-standing steel tower now. (The Tokyo Sky Tree over took Tokyo Tower in March, 2010.)

I cannot see both Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Sky Tree from my house. I sometimes go around there. I prefer Tokyo Tower. 

On Sunday, I went to Roppongi. While I was in underground, my iPhone was out of service due to SoftBank mobile's weak net work. When I go outside, it was raining. But I could see Tokyo Tower clearly like photo on top.

Even the Tokyo Sky Tree is taking centre stage, Tokyo Tower is still shining as usual. And I felt it's beautiful.

I heard Tokyo Sky Tree will start to broadcast TV and radio waves in 2012. After that, Tokyo Tower will end of its role. The TV and radio wave broadcasting is main revenue of Tokyo Tower, so it might be difficult to carry on after 2012.

Well, I believe the Tokyo Tower will shine after 2012.

Thank you.

Final day of my part-time job

In this four years, I was working for Italian restaurant near my house, part-time. I think, 4 year is long, but I felt it's short. I could learn a lot of things in this 4 years. Of course, it's not only about Italian foods. And I believe I can apply my experience in this 4 year long part-time job, to my future life.


Yesterday was my final day of my part-time job. Last night, it was a little busy night, but I could enjoy my last job in the Italian restaurant. All I want to say is "Thank you". For all the people who helped me, supported me, encouraged me in this 4 years.


Thank you.

Exam

Well, I had big and very important examination in December. I think, I wrote a little about that before I took the examination. The organization that are holding this examination took much time wether examinees passed the exam or not.


Finally, they had their result of the exam. Yesterday, I've got letter from the organization. I think, most of examinees had got this letter yesterday. Fortunately, I passed the exam. 


So, I've done most of things that I need to do until graduation in March. Thank you so much, who helped me!


Thanks.

Snow in Tokyo


These days, it's snowing  here in Tokyo. I was in Yokohama due to AOZORA photo aid exhibition in Yokohama as I wrote before. At that time, the weather was rain, but sometimes it was snowing. Fortunately, snow didn't pile up on Friday and on Saturday.

But on Monday, it was snowing again! And it piled up! I came back at about 9 p.m. by train, but that train was suspended due to snow after I came back to home! Well, I was lucky because I came back safely.

This morning, there were some delays on most of trains, but it was not so big problem for me. The big problem for me today was that it was tough to walk on iced or snowy road.

It's rare to snow in Tokyo, also it's really rare that snow piles up on roads! I think, I cannot ride my bicycle shortly due to snow. I hope these snow will melt smoothly and rapidly.

The photo on top is the photo that I took last night in front of my house.

Thank you.

Snowy AOZORA photo aid exhibition


Today, I went to Yokohama to join the AOZORA photo aid exhibition in Yokohama. Well, it was snowing and sometimes raining. I felt, it's not suitable weather to hold photo exhibition in outside, but the exhibition had held in outside.


I could join photo rally with some people there. But it was extremely cold and we couldn't take nice photos because it's raining / snowing.


Anyway, I could met many people there. (Some of them, I've met before.) Unfortunately, tomorrow's event has been canceled due to bad weather condition. I heard the distribution of post card would be continued until tomorrow 5 pm. If you have time, please visit it.


I was planning to join another event that they were planning to hold, but the event has been canceled due to snowy weather. Then, I will go to CP+ "Camera and Photo Imaging Show" in Pacifico Yokohama. I'm really looking forward that. 


Thank you.

Snowing Snowing

From Tuesday's night to Wednesday's morning, it was raining and sometimes snowing even in Tokyo. Until then, the air in Tokyo was extremely dry and dry air advisory continued over a month. Well, it's good for many people because the air got wet. But I hope the snow will never piles up because many trains, buses and many other public transportations would stop, also I cannot ride my bicycle on snowy street.


Fortunately, the snow on Wednesday morning didn't pile up. But according to the weather forecast the weather of this weekend will be snow. The snow will start on this evening and continued to Saturday. Which means snow would piles up even in Tokyo.


I think, snowy weather is good but I hope not these snow piles up on streets.


Thank you.

Medical check-up

Every year, I took medical check-up at the college, or school. But I've never taken it at hospital. I need to take it to submit for the company.


I need to wait a little, but I think it's better than the medical check-up that I took last year at the college. Because I needed to wait much more.


Anyway, I think I could pass all of check-up. But I felt my eyes go bad. It must be because of too much time to spend with display. I should take care of this.


Thank you.

Thank you!


These days, I was in super busy days. I was preparing my time for workshop of graduation thesis on Sunday. I had only 10 minutes to present and 5 minutes for questions.

Well, I felt it's not enough time to present all about my thesis. But it's all right.

Anyway, our college's workshop of graduation thesis is open to public, so there were some people who came from other colleges, companies and so on.

I was a little nervous until my present, but I could be relaxed when I start. And surprisingly, I could win the award for each section. The photo on top is the award certificate.

All I want to say is "Thank you".

Happy Chinese New Year!

Happy Chinese New Year! Or I should say "Happy Lunar New Year!"?


Anyway, Japanese people not cerebrate Chinese New Year (Lunar New Year) but we cerebrate New Year of new calender. In cities such as Yokohama(横浜) and Nagasaki(Nagasaki), celebrate Lunar New Year because there are major China town. I heard the festival will be held on Sunday, in Yokohama(横浜). Someday I wanna visit such festival in China town such as Yokohama(横浜) or Nagasaki(長崎).


Also, today is Setsubun(節分) in Japan. It's the end of winter, and I felt the spring has come because it was wormer than before. On Setsubun day, we eat Ehoumaki(恵方巻). I think, I didn't know about Ehoumaki before, but these days there are many shops that are selling Ehoumaki. I remembered that today is Setsubun, when I saw Ehoumaki in the supermarket store after noon. Anyway, I ate Ehoumaki this evening. 


Thank you.

Bicycle ride



Yesterday, I rode my bicycle first time in this year. I didn't ride my bicycle for such a long time, because I couldn't take much time to overhaul my bicycle these days.


On Saturday, I could take time to overhaul it and now it's in good condition then I rode bicycle yesterday. Well, yesterday was really cold. I went to college by bicycle in morning and came back at about 10.00 pm. It was late night and there were not so many cars on roads, but it was extremely cold.


The thermometer at the college told me that the temperature is 0 degrees (Celsius). Well, it's cold. But it was really good to ride bicycle because there were not so many cars.


Thank you.
