A Journey to the Levant
News site love reporting this.
On Yahoo Japan, but source is Bloomberg
To people outside Japan, it may sound strange. An interesting news bite, but it is actually a very good economic indicator.
Less allowance means less spending on Lunch, dinner, drinking with friends. It means more frugal lunches which is a challenge recently due to price hikes.
When and how will we see the effect on Japanese economy.
Amazing how marketing can ignore the reality and math.
Fibre Channel Data rate is completely different than the name of each generation.
In the past, 4G FC was 4Gbps, 8G FC was also about 8Gbps.
So how come 16G FC data rate is actually 14.025, 32 FC is surprising 28.05
Refer to the image below which shows future FC technology which continues to ignore math and common sense.
Why not just call it 28G FC , or in the future 56 FC ?
Really enjoyed Chihiro Yamanaka, Karen Teperberg and Dana Roth at Blue Note Tokyo concert. Actually it is one of the best concerts I ever experienced.
Surprisingly enough, Blue Note Tokyo sent the attached Thank you message which I wanted to share.
After many hesitations, I decided to upgrade to Kindle Voyage.
A very satisfied Kindle Whitepaper owner, the upgrade to voyage seemed expensive with few benefits.
But I guess my need for new Electronic devices has blinded my reason.
Anyway, I am VERY Happy with the device. Clearer, better, lighter. Currently have little usage for the frame page navigations, but I probably need to use it more.
Banana Yoshimoto’s “Kitchen” is probably the first Japanese book I read (in Hebrew).
Could not remember it very well, so decided to read it again, this time in Japanese.
While reading, I realise that I can’t remember it at all. Why is that ?
Like her writing style , but I am always surprised that there are still grammatical structures I struggle with.
->Then I opened my Kid’s Japanese text books and realised that I still have a lot to study.
There is very little information about Yoshimoto’s private life and I can imagine I can bump into here in a Cafe, not realising who it was.
Moving and important.
The Jewish barber goes on stage and Charlie Chaplin gives a moving speech.

It is shocking to visit a dead Friend’s twitter page and see “I’m alive” in the profile.
A book by Kawakami Hiromi.
Trying to read but struggling, it is not about the language but I feel I am missing cultural knowledge.
Story managed to interest me and sweep me into a fantasy world, but I think there are some levels of complexity related to Buddhism which I don’t understand .
(Or maybe I am wrong and try to find meaning when there isn’t )
I love The Google Doodle. Especially when I study something new.
This time, it is about Amalie Emmy Noether , A mathematician which contributed to abstract Algebra theoretical physics. Wikipedia mentions she was German and a Jew, but considering the fact she had to quit her university post due to the Nazi rules, I am not sure we can consider her German.
