Cute boy, like all children.

Japanese chairs are cheap and easy to use. Another success of Japan in the field of miniaturization.

On the way to mine work.

Palms as a background for sakura - subarashiiiiiiiii.

Last bus stop at Aburatsubo looks very romantic at this time.

Together with friend of mine we take last shot of sakura in here. Next year I will be far away from Japan.

With the mask, terrorists can easily hide them self in Japan, nobody care about the people in the mask.

I hope slides will looks better than canon a710is work.

In the Gumioji sakura blossom recently, just on time for saying good bay for Greg moving to Kyoto area.

Eight years have watching Yokohama life from Gumioji perspective.

Moldova, Japan, Turkey, Poland its the countries which send their representatives for this big event.

Slava failed to make good whisky commercial, however, if nobody wanted to drink it along 17 years, can not be good I think.

Kuba and Wit, do not regulate yours computers! Wit always looks like this *-*

Blossom of cherry trees.

Families and students are strolling alongside quiet alley.

Hanami festival is accompanied with smell of blosomming cherry and unromantic stink of chemical toilets.

For some people sakura=boredom. Yawning under these trees should be prohibited!

Ikuya's Idea become a true. We swam in the ocean 26 February. It was great experience! Something about this date, however it was not connected to our Matsuri directly, just same date.

In the ocean cold, brrrrrrr.

After cold we jump into Morisans "bathroom", big one.

After swimming, party in MMM (Morisan Magic Muzeum).

Alek was a great singer that night.

We take a photo each other. Japanese shot gaijins and we shot them as well. Different worlds, mistery and wish to keep memories.

Can you do like this?

This was really big one's. Tokyo Natural History Museum. It can be extremly dangerous while hits somebody's head.

Our memories

2008-02-14T13:54:00.001+09:00

Missing summer and such a moments.
We are missing sunset on the Mt. Fuji top, just like this one.

Miura Kaigan - beach full of surprise

2008-02-08T13:46:00.002+09:00

Such a views is a tradition there.

In the summer it is great playing field.

Japanese love's to swimm and walk on that beach.

But in the winter, owners ot this spot are Japanese agriculturists. Many famous Miura daikon are dryed there.

Yoyogi cd.

It is great to be young handsome foregner in this beautifull country!

It is some magic spot, every 10/5 min leafs just go up with the wind. It is attraction made by Tokyo Subway Company :-D

Swimming in the Ocean

2007-05-16T09:33:00.000+09:00

The Mori-san restaurant are placed just on the most beautiful beach . We frequently go to visit this place. At the end of April, my son decided to swim in the Ocean. It was great day. Fuji sunset at "diamond" position (picture on the left) and great people inside the restaurant, singing, dancing and joking during all night. There is some nice fluids, I'm already addicted on it.
Time in Japan runs faster then in Poland. But I learn how to catch it. I weak up earlier (6 o'clock) thanks to my wife, "early morning bird". And I can finish my work before darkness so we have some time for family.
Sometimes sadness comes, but since we are together, is easier to overcome it.
I start diet, not so strict, just throw away any snacks and beers. I don't want to have belly bottom.
Since I come here I make many Japanese friends and I hope that friendship will survive after my back to Poland.

My Japan and their citizens

2007-05-09T12:09:00.000+09:00

That was my biggest surprise in Japan - kindness of people. And, despite adult and positioned in society, young are still open minded (until achieving high positioning in society, I think).
And stories about low alcohol tolerance become just a myth in "gaijin" mythology.
This people are many oriented and because of that live here are really expensive. For example installation of air conditioner in the place where before was one (hole in the wall, electric plug, all was done before) cost 20 000 yen (167$). Like for 1h job too much.
Anyway I like this "Planet". Together with colorful sunset over the Fuji-san (when sky is clear) and sounds of birds on the morning. I'm lucky. I live in country side of Japan.
Sometimes I want go back to Poland, but slowly (8 months already) I just started to used to live in Japan.
Food is not terrible but prices are (in compare to my home country). But taste of Pacific fish - amazingly good in comparison to freshwater fish which usually are eaten in Poland.
Sometimes we go to the beach. We have beach just 100m from our laboratory (MMBS). There is magic place like Morisan's restoration and museum. Yeah MUSEUM as well. And it is more like live art place, with music playing by owner and visitors among them - many talented peoples.
Sometimes he also turn on karaoke system, but best attraction are the instruments (drums, guitars, keyboard, and undefined noise makers).
Sometimes we go with UG (drums) and IKUYA (guitar solist) and stay there until late night (or early morning, depends on definition). Now, after silent winter, season will started again.
That was my life in here until my family comes. Now it is our life and we really enjoy it here.
Viva la Japan!
Viva la Music!
Viva la vie!
