Long time no see :) haha. Here's a little update from the last month new year trip :) Happy day!
It was a different trip and I want to go back there again next year as well! Happy Weekend!

I had wanted to come here for a long time but could not because there were things. Anyway, this is not the first time to be here in this country for me because I have come to this country several times for business. However, my work strictly prohibits going out and the policy tells me to stick with the hotel food, I was not exposed to the local culture during the biz trip. However, right now, I am on my own. I deal with local people. I am not sure if I can explain this right in English since my English is bad (and, yes, I still use this "I have not used English on a daily basis" card) Anyway, I got here to my dream vacation destination this afternoon and I am enjoying it. The weather is beautiful and my driver is very friendly and nice. The hotel staff treats me nicely with the usual nice Asian attentive services. But this country is still on the difficult side in the world. Whenever I am about to buy a bottle of water in front of the touristy spot, many, i mean more than ten different street vendors, try to get my attention. It was like selling a $1 water bottle is the life and death competition. There is a child free clinic and in front of it, I saw more than 500 people in line to wait for their turns. (Will they all get the necessary medical attention by the end of today?). Children try to get tourists' attention to get them buy some things. On the other hand, in the same place, in the same city, I am typing this on a newly bought mini computer in the huge spacious suite room at this 5 star hotel. I am a tourist so I enjoy good food and nice safe water in the same city while there are people who are not lucky enough to get everything they need. I have mix feelings about this. Do I feel guilty? hmm.. maybe. maybe not.... However, one thing I can clearly say here is that it totally made me realize that I was missing how great my life was even though I seem to complain about things from time to time. It did not even cross my mind that I should appreciate what I have and what I can get. I thought that was normal until very this afternoon. Yes, I sometimes think something like that when I watch a documentary for Africa or something on TV but this is me witnessing the real things with my naked eyes. I am thankful I can enjoy my vacation like this and I should appreciate it more. However, I am not going to think about this all day long during my visit. I will not think they are unfortunate, either. That would be too cheap for me to be pity like that. I still see smile on their faces. :) I will enjoy my vacation here in this city. And I will upload my photos when I return. (the internet and cell phone systems are unstable here...) anyway, I hope what I wanted to mention came out right. Yes, this vacation is more than what I expected. in different ways :) anyway... Have a wonderful weekend!!!
Happy Hump Day!

Oh wow, so I guess I abandoned my blog again for awhile. I thought I was going to update it when I was on the road but I was too occupied :) Anyway, I had a two week vacation last month and I went to Europe. Here's the first part of my trip. I actually lived in this country years ago but I didn't have any good memories so I kinda avoided this country and didn't really come to this place but since I had one event I wanted to attend, I did. Before last month, this country to me was one of the very bitter memories in my life but my fantastic weekend changed it :) It was very fun! Anyway, here are some photos from that weekend. I hope you get some idea of what I did :) haha. I will upload some other photos from this trip last month! Stay tuned!if this thing still gets visitors..hahaha

I have not been blogging lately. I have started to wonder what to blog about and if I could continue. Is this like talking to myself every once in a while? It's kinda weird :) I haven't really come to the conclusion yet. But I thought I'd post something today for the first time in a very long while. I was finally able to order a paper made observant shade thingy as the total solar eclipse is expected in the southern region of Asia. Unfortunately, Tokyo is north but we will get 3/4 partial solar eclipse. The observant shades were getting scarce here in Japan but I was able to order them today! yay. The only thing I wish now is it will be clear and fine in Tokyo next week even though it's still in the middle of the rainy season! :) another by the way, I am spending an extended weekend somewhere else from I didn't have time to upload the thing but here it is. This is from the vacation earlier this month :) I feel like it was a long time ago :) Thanks for visiting my site (still) haha.
Have a wonderful week!!

This is where I was last week and I will upload some presentations later this week. Now I miss the beach and warm weather. :) You have a wonderful week!
Sorry. I have been busy. But like I usually say, I try to update this site once a week at least :) So here it is for this week
Have a good day!
