Kushi-Koubou

I met longtime friends last night at a Japanese Barbecue bar "Kushi-Koubou" in Hiyoshi because a friend will move to NJ. He will leave Japan in July. I hope him to enjoy his life in NJ.

The bar was very nice, but the barbecues are very very small stuff for foreigners. However, I could not eat everything. Especially I could not eat last Ramen noodle at all. It's greasy for me.. Others could eat the noodle. I could not believe it. Why and how could they eat all??

We went to a western style bar and a karaoke shop. We really enjoy to drink and sing songs until the midnight.

Wait a Moment for Your Job Change

Have you changed your job? Yes, I have. There are still many employees in Japan have not changed any jobs. It seems beautiful, but I do not feel they might have any chances of getting many views on business or life. I could learn a lot of views in a foreign company and domestic companies. There are many views, policies and cultures.
If you're still young, I recommend you should have many kids of experiences, and you should get out of your ordinary life you think.

Practice! Project Management

This book has only less than 160 pages, but you could learn how to deal with project managemants. I feel what I learn project management skills from books would be small like the book. It means this book scribes the essence of project management.

Hideyo Noguchi

He was a famous doctor in the world. He found out some disease-causing bacteria. I read a story of Hideyo Noguchi on the book of Phillis. He stayed an old hotel in Philadelphia. He could not get any opportunites in Japan, but he could get many good opportunities in USA. There are usual situtations in current Japan, too. I think.

Parents Can Only Do Small Things For Kids

This book was re-printed three times. You can know parents can do small things for kids. Kids have to do everything by themselves. Parents can only give some opportunities and suggest somethings to do, think or feel from the opportunities because your kids are not you.

Plague of Finacialization

This book tried to tell us all about finance, but the reasons of this title "Plague of Financialization" was not told. Now the economy situation in the States has been worse. Especially the sub-prime issue makes the world economy plunge, and so any countries must not follow to the States.
I suppose it is very easy to complain the past things. This author did not suggest anything to do in the future.

Hot Cities:Dubai & London, and Control of Speech in Russia

I watched two TV seires, Hot Cities "Dubai & London" and Control of Speech in Russsia. I was impressed.
Dubai has been developed with the government policy. There are many beautiful buildings by huge oil maney, but the prices of materials and labor has been boosted. Some lack of money has been happned recently.
London has been recovered by foriegn money, especially Russia, Middle East and South Asia. Mayor of London had allowed to invest from any foriegn money and labor, but the mayor lost the election in May. The new mayor has conservative agenda of the investmants and labor from foreign countries. I thought football funs would be still the labor level, but the lowest entrance fee is over $100!! It's expensive!! There are not such expensive professional sports in Japan.
In addition, I also watched Control of Speech by the Putin administration. Russia pressures all anti-Putin policies. There was an example on the Hot Cities series. A Russia business man in London was pressured by the Russia government.
Everything goes around the world...
