Leaving today 11th of June. Arriving tomorrow June 12 in Tokyo Japan. Will stay until March 2010.
I will try to post about what’s going on there on the internet, if my japanese is good enough to surf the local web.
In the meantime, let’s enjoy time pass by with the Uniqlo calendar. This makes me feel wonderful.
So tomorrow I’m starting a one year training focusing on Japan.
I’ll be learning Japanese but also how to do business with the Japanese and tomorrow starts a ten day session at Paris Institut d’études Politiques called the “socio-cultural component”, with classes about history, buddhism, japanese society, etc. I’ll have two more sessions in Milan and london after that.
From June on, I’ll be in Tokyo studying business and Japanese at Waseda for about 10 months.
I am really excited.
Here is a great blog in English about Japan, called Pink tentacle.
From the “about page” of iamlamerde.com
La Merde was born in the void that existed between urban and urbane. (…) La Merde unites the classic elements of sophisticated dress with refined street sensibility. Our headquarters is based in Portland, OR.
I used Google translate to find a meaning to this in French. Then I Google-translated it back into English. It gave me something like :
“The Shit was born in the gap between urban and urban areas. (…)” .
Then I realized it did not make more sense.
(La Merde comes in Albatros brown color)
One of the posts I plan to do one day is about the best “about pages” of the internet. This one definitely should be featured.
By the way : some of The Shit is rather cool.
Thanks Morgazilla
