JAPANSSE BATH

3月

31日

OFURO and SENTOH are words describes Japanese style bath. The bath could be natural spring or just a hot water. It usually have dry sauna. Japanese bath is one of the most missed items living in the US.

When you go to baths in Japan, there are some things that are very unique in Japan. People who work there are usually women. They come in to the bath and clean things. After living in the US for so long, I still feel out of place to see female in the mans bath. I guess it is a common thing in Asia. Other than that, Japanese baths are great. I wish I had one here in the US.

K9s are welcome at PSP

Here is a picture of my dog PomPom. He is a 6 year old Shih Tzu and Pomeranian mix. I bought him at Absolute Puppy on NE 8th in downtown Bellevue. I do all his glooming myself. I do not want to spend money and I do not want him at the glooming place for hours. I gloom him every 5 or 6 weeks. I gloom Tiny and Nano as well. They are Shih Tzus and I know them since they are baby.

My company allows employees to bring their dog to work. Usually there are 3 to 5 dogs in the company at any given days. We actually bought current office buildings so that we can bring our dogs.

This picture was taken at my house.

What should I write on my blog???

3月

27日

I am asked many times by the business people what should I write on my Blog? My answer often is anything but advertisement of your company or product. How many advertisements can you write? Do you watch TV to see the advertisements? I dont think so. You watch the show and as a result you watch the advertisements.

The show is you. You must sell you on the Internet. You must be attractive enough to attract audiences. There is no point for you to advertise when there is nobody to see it. Think about what you know, what you like, what you dont like, and then write about them. Regardless of where your blog is, unless you update them often, you will not attract anyone.

Some of the topics people may choose to write are

(1) What you eat
(2) Pets
(3) Where you go
(4) Whom you met
(5) Business Failure
(6) Business Success
(7) Advise you received (Good or Bad, Worse)
(8) Health and Diet
(9) Economy and Politics
(10) Current News

Again, you need to update your blog as often as possible. Also, pictures will make your blog more attractive.

Do you know this man?

He is one of the most successful business people that I personally know. He is Mr. Junki Yoshida. We went to meet Yoshida-san, chairman of Yoshida Group, in Oregon. He owns and operates 18 companies including Yoshida Foods, Oregon International Airfreight. He is an extremely busy person, but he always spend entire afternoon. He sits on the board of directors of my company.

He will be involved more with the company that I am creating too. He is coming to Seattle to speak at Seattle Executives Association where I am a second VP. I will get to introduce him tomorrow.
