iPress Cafe. / iPhone Cafe

Although many have predicted that the iPhone would not be
a hit in Japan,recently there has been a noticeable growth in the
amount of iPhone users in Tokyo. iPress a free iPhone newspaper
for IPhone users in Japan has opened an iPress Cafe in Shibuya
At the iPress Cafe you can try out new apps check out iPhone
goods and of cousre there is free wifi. The opening event had a very
groggy me in Shibuya early on a Sunday morning.
So I had to say a few words about them. Looking forward to see how
they will develop.

Birthday Week (October 1st to October 7th)

Christmas is a nice time of the year but so is
Birthday Week.
yes, WEEK, (7 days of private and public celebration).
In these busy times withbusy and unconventional
schedules, it really makes sense and allows you to be able
to catch up to family and friends.

This year started on Sept. 30th with 4 straight days of
dinners and drinking. Areas so far included Kagurazaka,
Yutenji, Ebisu, and often two or more venues in one area.
I didn't take many pics at the locations I went to,
so I guess some of the festivities will have to remain private.

Luckily, there are pictures of the low key,
satisfying meal at Yutenji-Diner.
Nice full-on course that featured this
shio motsu nabe, among other delicacies.

(everything seems to taste good here)
It was a very cozy and private time.

Officially the actual birthdate is October 1st and the
celebration starts on the 1st and ends on the 7th.
This year started out on Sept. 30th with 4 straight
days of eating and drinking. I am not complaining but
I need to rest (and also take time to post to the blog)

(and even got a special gift from my assistant Junko)

Birthday week is not only dinners gifts and drinking,
but also time to reflect and be thankful to be enjoying life.
If you don't make an effort to be in control of your time, you will never be...
Birthday week, nice as it always is,
and I still have a few more days to go...

Street View Car

Has anyone ever seen the car that collects the info for
the Google street view? I have never seen it either,
or maybe I have... This odd car with to many camera like
contraptions rolled thru my neighborhood today. This
