This is why we created Bloguru

I looked for a blogging platform before we started Bloguru service to talk about myself and my business. But all blogging platform came with some advertisements. As the blogging platform get smarter, it started to recognize what I am blogging about and start placing related advertisements. So, when I talk about data center, it started to place other hosting companies advertisements.

As a company owner, I have no interest in advertising other companies. So, I started Bloguru with no advertisement (no cost either to anyone). Free does not mean you have to be covered with advertisements.

COSTCO JAPAN

One of the most successful COSTCO overseas operations is COSTCO JAPAN. This is one of several COSTCO stores in Japan. This is their Makuhari Store. I believe this was their No.2 store.

Because of the strong Japanese currency, selling products to Japan can be very profitable.

This is what I had for late lunch in Tokyo. I already ate two pieces of Tekka Maki and one piece Tamago. All this and miso soup for 1,260yen ($16.50). Even with this crazy exchange rate, this is good deal.

Japan IT Week Expos.

10月

27日

I was at Japan IT Week expo today at Makuhari. It takes about an hour from my hotel to get to Makuhari Messe by train. I left hotel about 9:40am and got there about 10:30am. I had a quick lunch and walked around for about two hours and got on the train to get back to Tokyo. I was standing up almost all the time. I am little tired but I found some interesting products and ideas.

People attending this show were wearing ties ... IT looked very formal.

Tokyo is much brighter at night!

I arrived in Tokyo last night. The first thing that I noticed was how bright the city is compared to last few times I were here after the earthquake. Although the nuclear power plants are still out, they manage to generate enough power. Or may be the power requirements are low this time of the year. Plus, people seem not care too much about the problem.

Arrived in Tokyo

10月

26日

I have arrived in Tokyo. I usually take the bullet train, but this tome I took discount airline called Skymark Airlines. Other than the fact there is no business class nor in-flight drink service, the plain is brand new 737-800 and the seats are all RECARO. It was only one hour flight and the cost was 11,800 yen that is about the same price as or little cheaper than a bullet train.

I enjoyed the flight and I think I will start use this unless I need to stop somewhere on the way. I took this picture when I arrived at Haneda / Tokyo International Airport.
