Lost-and-found and French restaurant

Posted on September 12, 2012 by Muravej

During the lunch time, I went to a lost-and-found at Kofu station about the doughnuts I had left in the train last evening.  The doughnuts are at the last stop of the train and will be delivered to us. I signed the document showing my ID, and left the station. In the afternoon, there was a party in a French restaurant, “Sadoya” for celebrating the  the success of the workshop held early August It started at 6 PM and ended after 8 PM. Sadoya is a winery, too, and I drank much wine. After coming back home, Katya was a bit amazed by my being so drunk.

I left Kofu at 1 PM and arrived at Hotel Springs Makuhari  in Chiba. There was a two-hour workshop in the hotel for the present energy situation.

It was difficult to make a reservation in Makuhari because of JASIS in Makuhari Messe, which I am attending tomorrow. Therefore, I took trains to Chiba station. It started raining. I took a light dinner and walked to Chiba Washington Hotel. It was a small hotel. The room I stayed in was small,too.

The institute will hold a workshop on August 2 and 3. I have been asking researchers all over the world to join it. Today, the reserved attendees went up to 150, so it will be a big workshop. I am getting in touch with invited speakers, too.  Two from abroad have not responded to me yet. I need to ask them send us abstracts.

Saturday Work

Posted on December 18, 2010 by Muravej
