Seminar and meeting in Tokyo

Posted on May 29, 2013 by Muravej

I continued copying and pasting. At 2 AM, a mail arrived from a Mexican friend working for a French university; he invited me to the defense of his Chinese  PhD student, and the date of defense was decided on September 18th. So I will visit France in September. I finished the report at 4 AM. I uploaded the file to a free storage site and sent the url to the governmental institute asking to download it to check. I came back home, took Maya-san for a morning walk, and left for Tokyo for a seminar of a graphic software I am using. I slept in the train. I got off … Continue reading →

Business trip to Panasonic, Osaka

Posted on October 29, 2012 by Muravej

I had a discussion at Panasonic in Osaka today. Before taking a train, I bought breakfast at Vie de France at Kofu station. Breads sold in Vie de France are not exactly French but close enough for the prices. I took them into the train.    The train left the station at 8 AM. I needed to change trains so many times. At Shin-Yokohama station, I took a bullet train to Shin-Osaka station. At Yodoyabashi station, I took a quick lunch.    Changing trains, I finally arrived at Panasonic at 2 PM. We had a two-hour discussion. Then I took all the trains back to Kofu. I arrived home at 10 … Continue reading →

Mom and Dad coming to Kofu and Mariya’s spoon

Posted on October 21, 2012 by Muravej

Right after her birth, my parents naturally wanted to meet Mariya. Today’s Sunday and they are coming to Kofu by train. I arrived at Kofu station at 11 AM. In the department store “Eclan” by the station, I looked for something for lunch. I bought two large packs of take-out sushi at Kyodaru. There is a wine shop, and I bought a bottle of Kofu wine for my parents and one non-alcoholic for me and Katya. I left sushi and wine bottles in the car, and went to the ticket gate of the station to see my parents. There was a campaign of Aizu district in Fukushima to invite tourists. … Continue reading →

Rain in Hokkaido, Tohoku, and Kofu

Posted on September 11, 2012 by Muravej

My parents have come back from a five-day trip around Hokkaido and Tohoku. They did not take planes but took trains all the way. I called my mother on the phone. They seemed to have enjoyed the trip. Unfortunately, it was raining during their whole trip, she said. In the evening in Kofu, it started raining cats and dogs. When I was about to leave the office back home, the rain stopped, so I rode a bike. It started raining again on the way back home. I got all wet.

Back to Kofu from Hachioji

Posted on June 2, 2012 by Muravej

I woke up to see outside from the hotel, which was not very beautiful. I took a light breakfast and left the hotel in Hachioji. I took an express train to Kofu. After arriving at the apartment, I went out to see the Chinese student from France at the dorm. He was OK.  It seems that the jet lag does not affect him very much. He gave me souvenirs.    I will see him on Monday. Then I was working in my office.

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 →
