Tokyo en photos
Some pictures taken today while driving around: Roppongi Hills, the now famous new Prada Shop (Designed by Jacques Herzog & Pierre de Meuron, Switzerland. Cost around $85 million. Opening June 6th 2003. 3,500 Visitors for the opening week end), and two anonymous trains…
A nice cafe in Harajuku, Tokyo Apartment Cafe, we go quite often with Eddie and Thierry. The atmosphere is cool, quite 70’s like. I love this decoration, and especially the part on the picture, quite relaxing for a talk after work.
Today’s « meeting » was mainly website related. Thierry is building a high-potential website, but still under construction at this time. High potential as it’s already 3 years it has been started, but he has always been keeping the secret on the content… Anyway, we’ll just have to wait (2 more years???)
Above some of pictures of today’s nomikai in one of the « Student » izakaya in Shinjuku. Thanks to Sylvain and Ken kun for the organization. It was nice. As expected, everybody was drunk enough to take the train at 10h30…. Pictures include Guillaume, Hisashi, Hitomi, Yumi, Sylvain, Ken, Aki, Sawako… OK, pictures are taken with my Clie (Eddie, I think this justifies my « Powered by Clie » banner, no?), so the quality of the pictures is quite poor. It’s quite handy though, as I would probably not have brought my D30.
De retour de Shirakawa-go, je me suis mis à regarder sur le Web les sites japonais classés au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO que je n’ai pas encore visités. En regardant la liste ci-dessous sur le site de l’UNESCO, je me suis rendu compte que finalement, je n’en avais encore pas vu beaucoup… Le prochain sera sans doute cette île des Ryūkyū, près d’Ishigaki, je suppose…
