Shisendo in Kyoto

Posted on September 21, 2012 by Muravej

In the morning, we had a discussion in Shimadzu; the work’s then over. After arriving at Kyoto station from Keihanna, I took a bus to Shisendo, a residence of a scholar in the 17th century. I like the place and have been visiting it once in a while.       It is a small place with few visitors. The garden is very small but beautiful. It is very comfortable to be in there. I stayed there for half an hour, sitting on the tatami floor. Then I took a bus back to Kyoto station. From Kyoto, I took a bullet train and got off at Nagoya station. In a small … Continue reading →

Working in a laboratory in Keihanna

Posted on September 20, 2012 by Muravej

From the window of the room in Keihanna Plaza Hotel, only a parking lot was seen. I had breakfast on the first floor.  Then I left the hotel.    I walked to Shimadzu laboratory. Keihanna is a new city from the late 20th, so the streets were new, too.    In the laboratory, the student and I worked all day. After coming back to the hotel, I bought a dinner for the student in a French restaurant “la Saine” on the second floor. The dishes were not expensive, but the tastes were real.

Return to Kofu from Keihanna, Kyoto

Posted on March 6, 2012 by Muravej

In the morning, we took breakfast in the hotel. Students and I checked out from the hotel before 9 AM.   A big sundial is in front of the hotel. A battery charger for battery cars is installed by the hotel.    Keihanna is a science area created some 30 years ago.  Kenhanna Plaza Hotel is the only hotel in this area. It was not very crowded during our stay, but when there is a conference in the halls, it suddenly gets busy. We walked to Shimadzu and worked there till 1:30 PM. We had some good results but found out many problems to be solved. After the experiments, students … Continue reading →

Experiments in Kyoto

Posted on March 5, 2012 by Muravej

I woke up and had breakfast in the hotel. The three students are staying in the same place. We walked together to “Shimadzu Keihanna Laboratory“, where the subleader of my project is working. It took only 10 minutes from the hotel. The Shimadzu researchers have already designed new cells, and the parts for the cells have arrived from manufacturing companies. We brought some other materials to construct the cells together. We started working from 9 AM. We kept working till 5:30 PM. The results were not satisfactory to me; I give B-. The subleader told me that they had reserved dinner for us in a restaurant, Kanseikyo, in our hotel. … Continue reading →

Business trip to Kyoto, March 4, 2012

Posted on March 4, 2012 by Muravej

It is Sunday today. I am planning to carry out experiments in Kyoto with three students for two days from tomorrow. I first took a bullet train to Kyoto Station. I changed the JR line to the Kintetsu Kyoto Line. I got off at Shin-Hosono Station, where I took a bus to Keihanna Plaza Hotel. I was hungry and took a bowl of boeuf bourgignon. The room was small with one bed, but comfortable enough. I will take a rest and will start working from tomorrow morning.
