A journey to the Levant
During my (short) trip I have noticed that there is noticeable presence of Japanese companies in China:
Kirin and Suntory in an Airport vending machine:
Hitachi ad in the Airport bus:
Shibuya 109 (Sorry for quality, taken while in Taxi):
Sharp :
No, I didn’t walk to Nanjing, I flew… but it took a while:
Since there aren’t daily flights from Narita (Tokyo) to Nanjing, I had to connect in Shanghai.
Air China service is reasonable, but the meal… less than reasonable:
The connection involved going through immigration, getting my luggage and then take a bus to another terminal (told you it was long). The good part was the small Embraer plane:
Decided to write more about my life in Japan, travel, food, friends; once in a while will continue to write about Technology, but definitely will not be the focus.
I have many things I want to write, but I don’t feel like starting another Blog (too lazy to maintain).
Seems almost impossible, but today I will start my first trip to Mainland China. Have previously been to Hong Kong (twice) and Macao (once), but I am sure this is going to be a different experience.
My trip is to Nanjing (Nankin), in Chinese Characters it is 南京 , which means the southern Capital, which it was in the past. Since there are no daily direct flights to Nanjing, I’d have to connect through Shanghai (on my way) and Beijing (coming back), which makes the trip very long.
My twitter account (@telyas) is the best way to follow my updates and quick pictures I am taking with the blackberry, but I will do my best to update this Blog as well.
Google Suggest Quirks have been reported, blogged to death.
But what the hell, here is my part:
According to Google Suggest, Jews are Rich, Hated Liberals:
While Japanese are perverted, but it may be explained since the women are hot:
Bing.com added new map services, which has great “3D” photos (not just the flat satellite map). Finding it very useful, as sometimes Google’s Street View is too restrictive as taken from the street level.
As an example, see below Shibuya Crossings in Tokyo:
Yet another awful commercial from UQ WiMAX has arrived. This time, they outdid themselves, by using a cat which has a very successful Youtube channel.
See below UQ WiMAX Commercial, asking if the cat will manage to go into the box, then asking if your Laptop has WiMAX. (Did I mention this commercial is BAD?)
And a sample cat video from mugumogu channel:
Always surprising for me to find when a news site fails like this. At least the IT guy can redirect the top page to a friendlier message.
Can’t say NTT Docomo are doing a good job promoting the Android Phone, but at least they have a nice commercial.
Japanese comedian Gekidan Hitori demonstrates how easy it is to find information for a girlfriend who wants to go out to eat.
Took a well deserved day off Yesterday (Friday, 27th).
As always, you can access my Flickr page for more photos, but here is a sample:
