Posted on July 8, 2012 by Muravej

In the morning, the weather forecast said it could be rainy all day today. We waited, and the sky was getting clearer. At 1 PM, Katya, Maya-san, and I left for Lake Saiko.    The temperature was 20 degree C. Very comfortable for a walk. After a short walk, we went into “Hanashinobu“, a restaurant where dogs are allowed.       We ordered sets of hamburg stew and omelette curry.

Bicycle for Chinese student

Posted on June 4, 2012 by Muravej

Today is Monday. In the morning, I met the Chinese student in our institute. He was doing OK during the weekend. We started talking in French.

He is now living in a dorm for international researchers and students.  I let him use my Lamborghini. I will be using my moped.
