Meguro Saury Festival

Japanese people loves to eat a broiled saury with salt in the Autumn. The saury festival has been held in Meguro for 13 years, because a famous comic story "Meguro's Saury (Meguro-no-Sanma)" has been told for about 300 years.

I read an article that the festival committe prepared about 6000 sauries this year. My family wants to go to the festival and eat the free saury. My wife preapred rice in the lunch boxes. My family left my home at 9:30am, and arrived at 10am... 

I started standing on this long line at 10:16am near the Gotanda station.

I could see the smoke at 12:09pm at this corner at last.

Broiling 6000 sauries!

Smoke, Smoke, Smoke!

I could eat this delicious saury at 12:50pm near the Meguro station....

My family goes to swim at the Azuma Health & Sports Center after the festival, and we buys delicious cakes of the Quil Fait Bon in Daikanyama as usual.

Project Management In Action

Some people doesn't look to understand project managements should be done for system projects. I suggest allmost all books on project managements describe based on system projects. I think more Japanese businessman should learn project management methods.

However, this book tells how to manage projects based on many business sections. I hope more Japanese business person read such a book.

Mind Set!: Reset Your Thinking and See the Future

This book tells me some important minds.

- It's not important to be always true.
- Loads to the future connects with now.

...

It's also imporatnt to see changings and adjust to the changes.

However, I was surprised with his business that he gathered local news from many local newspaper. It's not hard to gather local news now, but he did it manually 20 years ago. He knew many small changes would build the future.
