Tokyo Day

Posted on 1st Feb 2009

As I heard there will be an event about Japan, I went to have a quick look after shopping. "Origami", "calligraphy", "Koma" and "Robots", there were lots of "let's try" booth, and there were lots of people as well. At "Tea Ceremony" corner, I saw some British people showing slightly curious looks, and shitting in […]

Input > Output = Enrichment – Satisfaction

Posted on 23rd Jan 2009

It's been about 2 weeks since a new project started, and as I started a new course as well, my brain capacity is over flowing. But the project is really fun, and I feel enrichment, but I can't feel satisfaction yet. Also my physical condition is not good, so mentally I'm feeling down...sigh. I'm still […]

New Year, etc.

Posted on 5th Jan 2009

When can I move to a story about Francis Bacon? Anyway, I'm going to write about after Xmas to now... So, after Xmas, I went to see Ms N. to be given reflexology. As I used to go to massage at least once a month in Japan, I was so happy to be relaxed. Thanks, […]

Digital Design Day

Posted on 22nd Sep 2008

I went to Digital Design Week at Southbank Centre in London Design Festival. Well, I think the event was not so good... They had a seminar by apple talking about a workflow of digital design process, and a debate about new media by i-design. I was not afford to listen to i-design as it was […]

Upon the Thames

Posted on 16th Sep 2008

I like walking along the Thames. I think, around Westminster is always full of tourist, but around Design Museum which located near to Tower Hill is rather less people and good place to relax. If the weather is good, Tower Bridge looks amazing as well. The museums on Japanese tour guidebook are usually something focus […]

Cooking

Posted on 30th Aug 2008

It's been for a while since I wrote last time as I was so busy with assignment, but I'd like to resume writing now! Yes, I'm basically lazy, but I cook recently. I love wandering around tesco. Oh, I found Kikkoman's soy sauce. And something looks like chinese cabbage! Well now I wish to have […]

Enrollment

Posted on 14th Aug 2008

Enrollment??? Sounds like rolling around... It means registering to the university??? Anyway, the language course started at 28th July, but the first day was not something like "announcement of classes", but actually only for enrollment. (That's rather surprising as it's not like this in Japan.) I went to UAL in Bond Street. It should have […]

Forever Young Soup??? (Day 7)

Posted on 12th Aug 2008

The seventh day. Today I went to Oxford street to buy a mobile phone and a bag to carry to school. Started from Green Park, we went through Mayfair, and had a lunch at a noodle bar called "itsu". The meal there was rather shocking for me though... Although sushi looked like proper sushi... ...Is […]

Internet and Burger King (Day 6)

Posted on 11th Aug 2008

The 6th day. I needed the internet anyway....so went to the reception to ask about it, and found out that the service is offered for free only for summer season. Lucky! The receptionist gave me a LAN cable as well... which was extremely short. 1m? Connecting to the net, the first thing I searched was […]

My good choices

Posted on 3rd Aug 2008

The fifth day...well just before writing about it, these are the things I thought good choices to bring to the U.K. after arriving here. 1. Slippers Even the hotel didn't provide slippers. They are so useful after moving into the hall too. A colleague gave me this, soft, cute slippers. So comfortable! 2. Cosmetics trial […]
