What Best Player Have In Launch Options

The 7 dwarves.

In these days in Tokyo, Odaiba for the accuracy, we held the largest exhibition in the world of nanotechnology.
In this exhibition, in addition to many Japanese industries and universities, were also representatives of other leading countries, namely Germany, UK, Belgium, Taiwan, Switzerland, Australia, Holland and Italy.


When we saw that there was also an Italian representation we surprised: that's up to us to do? What are the major industries that we are here? We got to wander through the various stands in the large exhibition area, passing by the conductive inks to electron microscopes and Sonic at the tissues. But no trace of Italy.


We got to shoot better, in case we had missed something, and eventually we found the Italian area: firstly arranged style lounge area with sofas and booths, lights and plants. But even the prototypes or similar shade. The other was a cabinet with the machine for espresso, Just like at the bar. It is enough.

intent to produce something of Italians, however, no trace, even if only to keep the coffee machine. And so, while the other stands were variously attended, the Italian was desolate and deserted. Perhaps nanotechnology will be confused with the dwarves of technology?


change the subject which is better. At Odaiba we had been on Christmas Eve, and the second visit did not confirm the impressions of the first: the city's future thrown into this.



seems straight from a cartoon style UFO Robot Mazinger Z or both you would expect to see the Match Patrol somewhere ...
For those interested, the Tokyo marathon next Sunday will be here for his arrival. In the event that our beloved national TV decided to broadcast, including one buttock and the other, this sporting event, why not take a look.

the next.

Belly Button Hurt After Ceaseran

Kawagoe

Yesterday we spent the Sunday stroll, and after eating lunch outside we stroll through Shibuya and Harajuku.
The thing I was a bit 'was surprised to see so many waving Japanese flags from almost every pole we met along the road. Thinking he was currently in progress due to the G8 in Tokyo I have not noticed much.


This morning, as every weekday, usually wakes up at 6:15, breakfast and bike ride to work. Strangely, the road was not there the usual traffic of workers, indeed, the roads were almost clear of if you exclude the presence of some runners and some children were playing baseball.


Once we found the office to work in the dark and empty, we woke up and entering one of our Japanese colleague who had spent the night in the office. From him we got confirmation that today is national holiday celebrates the birth of Japan.


And if you think the work there are the Japanese, there may be two Italians? But we're crazy?

A quick consultation (see photo below on the consultation with fellow Japanese) has prompted us to Kawagoe, also known as "Little Edo" because the appearance of the streets that recalls the ancient architecture of Edo, or Tokyo.


Once in Kawagoe we have had confirmation that his reputation is well deserved: many old style houses and shops in Japan, a lot of temples and cemeteries, the first trees covered with flowers. Also
the streets full of people much more relaxed than those inhabiting the streets of Tokyo.


Among the many beauties have found a temple, whose trail entrance was flanked by two tracks that you see in the picture, on which visitors were invited to walk, of course barefoot.

Needless to say,
ciboamica has now ventured into the test, getting your shoes and walk along the entire path agile and fast making a mockery of all the indigenous zompettavano whining already the second step. Then when the Monaco at the end of the path has congratulated giving the honorary title of Carcagnì you fierru , which means "woman whose house is full of just shelled nuts with bare feet," she has carefully avoided mentioning the Double-padded sock bandaged his foot every ...


And so it passed this beautiful day full of improvisation, despite the weather forecast had predicted rain.

the next.
