Seattle-Tacoma International Airport was named No.2 most on time airport only behind Haneda Tokyo Airport. Air plains may fly out on time at SEATAC, but that is not a problem. SEATAC has very slow luggage handling. When I come back from Japan, it may take as much as half an hour to start seeing the bags. What is with...

Every time I visit Tokyo, I visit place called Ameyoko. And every time I go there, I buy a cut of pineapple (100 yen) from the street vendor. It is cheap, natural and very sweet. We should do this at Akimatsuri in Bellevue. http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3012.html

I am leaving Japan and flying back to Seattle tomorrow from Narita. Today is the last full day in Tokyo. I will be attending the 50th Anniversary Party for our biggest customer Otsuka Corporation. (http://www.otsuka-shokai.co.jp/english/) My plan is to visit Akihabara (Electronic Town) to see what the latest electronics in Ja...

I am staying at IMPERIAL HOTEL in Japan. I believe this is No.1 hotel in Japan in my mind. Everything is expensive at this hotel. A bottle of water costs 945 yen ... that is over US$11. So I was expecting to pay $20 or $30 a day for Internet. I was wrong. The internet access is FREE. This is the first city hotel of this caliber...

I just received an Asiana Gold Club member card ... WOW! Their service is good to begin with ... what more do I get?

My daughter is starting her study in Berlin, Germany this summer and she is flying out today. I left my home when I was 18, so I can not really have any reason to sop her. I just wish her luck. See you in eighty some days.

After 14 and half hours of traveling time, I have arrived in rainy Kansai/Osaka International Airport. I had about 2 hour layover at Icheon Airport in Korea. As usual, Asiana provided wonderful service arriving in Korea little early too. I slept very well last night. It seems I have gotten over my lower back pain. It is still raini...

I am taking ASIANA flight to Japan today. I will be back on 5/31.

I have a day trip to Portland today. I may not be able to post anything today.

This year was the 100th anniversary of "FORCED ANNEXATION TREATY OF KOREA" by Japanese. Not too cool to be Japanese being in Korea.
