In Algeria

Sweltering heat of the desert, humid jungle, freezing ice field...in the land of any limit on the earth, the company's employees are working.

Approximately 10% of 2,000 employees of this Japanese company are working at overseas plant sites and most of them are called danger zone, where we could not even imagine.

Inamenasu in Algeria, was one of them.

Why they work at such a danger place?
"Because there are resources."

Employees of the company  stationed in risk preparedness.

Many governments of developing countries bring impressive credentials to the company named Nikki, because they raise local young people who bear the future of the countries by throughout the project.
Many countries are suffering from weaknesses built into technology even there are resources.

It might have been a teacher who died in the terrorist attacks and may have been  the students who survived.

The most difficulty of those expatriates who live away from home said "lonely" instead of "danger".
The remains of those Samurai who endured the lonely and devoted for the country had returned to Japan.
We would like to make a deep bow to them with thinking of the importance of human life and sorrow of the bereaved relatives.

Hiking @ Mt. Fuji

Pictures of Mt. Fuji where one of spiritual places in Japan. You can drive to halfway up the mountain. It's about two hours hiking course from there. Many people like to try climbing up Mt. Fuji. It's a popular way that people spend a night at a co ttage and start around 2am to see sun rise at the top, however I have never tried it. R einforcement work is under way as mountain slope is sliding down. I didn't make any effort, instead I just felt autumn there. It was a clear day after rainy days that took off orange osmanthus petals. Fujisan with rainbow Rain cleanses us and brings next season.

Blackout Threatened

It's very cold day. The consumption of electricity has been increasing due to heating. There's rolling blackouts due to electricity shortages caused from Fukushima nuclear power plant accident. TEPCO, Tokyo Electric Power Co., Inc., divided Kanto region into five groups and have been carrying out stop electric power for a few hours in order. Plan was not informed in advance, which gave people confusion. During blackout, traffic light is out of service, there was a fatal traffic accident due to that. My friend took a photo of drinking scene under candlelight At the office, there was an emergency company broadcast at 4:30 pm today. They said 'There might be unpredictable huge blackouts tonight due to lack of supply of electricity according to METI. There will be chance of confusion of transportation therefore go home immediately'. Trains in Tokyo running every few minutes so accurately, and if there's any unusual things such as blackout, it will be a serious con...

Lost in Translation

There are frequent questions for foreigners who visit in Japan such as 'Can you use chopsticks?' or 'Do you eat Natto ?'. And relatively one of the latest might be 'Have you ever watched Lost in Translation?'. And interesting thing is that people who are familiar with Japan well or live in this country for a long time didn't really like that movie. (Including me) I was asked by my friend why, I replied that Sofia Coppola emphasized strange things of Japanese a little bit too much. The Japanese hooker didn't have to be that old woman with such degrading English. The director must have intended it to compare to the heroine who was young and a white beautiful girl. By the way, I and my other friend went to the bar at Park Hyatto in Shinjyku to experience Lost In Translation in last January. The hotel was splendid. All these three picture were being taken by her camera.
