The German Chamber of Commerce celebrated Christmas in Tokyo with great food, drink (maybe too much for a Monday night), music, and even great presents that leading international companies donated as raffle items. Wine glasses, appliances, champagne, hotel gift certificates, electronics, expensive kitchen knives, vacuum cleaners, and a lot of other classy gifts were given away to the lucky draw. It was a great event.

In the US, some say you can’t celebrate Christmas because its ‘religious’ or it might be ‘offensive’. But you can celebrate Halloween (that is also religious, of Druid origin).

When asked why some Americans are so against Christmas, one attendee said ‘Those Americans get so extreme about things’.

Christmas is a great time of the year. Yes, maybe a bit too commercialized but a great excuse to enjoy time with others. Maybe some grinches in America need to remember that.

It must be cool technology as it’s the latest and the greatest. The new iPhone X arrived today.

As high tech people, definitely need to play with this stuff. However, as the changes are incremental, these last few models of the smartphone are not that exciting.

Our best selling product is a phone service. It will be good to see how it runs our apps as thousands of people will be running them on this device as it begins to sell in Japan.

For those already using it. What do you think about your iPhone X? Worth the price?

Looks we’ll have a new emperor in Tokyo in 2019. Government is talking about giving extra national holidays to celebrate. As we’re in the cyber generation, you wonder how many people would go to see as opposed to watching it on YouTube or Vimeo.com later.

Bought Toshiba washing machine in Jan 2016. It was okay as a product but the last six months it created its own new feature.  It would start rewashing the whole load when it began the last 7 minutes of the wash cycle.  You had to stand there and wait until the last 7 minutes to make sure you didn’t have the machine constantly washing or stopping with a waterlogged load of clothes.

Thank God for the internet!  Now with people reviewing product on the internet we discovered it’s a common problem with Toshiba washing machines. Rather than calling a serviceman to temporarily ‘fix’ (because it does the same thing again as time passes), we decided it best to trash the Toshiba.

Interesting how the company’s accounting integrity issues seems to reflect in junk products.  Sad.  They are still pushing these at Costco and Yodobashi Camera.

Conclusion- don’t buy Toshiba washing machines.

When you arrive at the station in Japan and see a sign like this, you know you’ve been out too late.

What a great place to go for a walk with a gorgeous wife. Nothing beats the Hawaiian sunset. But Okinawa comes close…

Ginza has always been a great place for food. Had many dates there due to so many excellent restaurants. The last few years we’ve heard Korean, German, Swedish, French, English, and lots of Chinese just walking down the street.

Recently, lots of Chinese friends buy 5000 yen suitcases there to fill with their shopping for the day and take back to the homeland. Is Ginza becoming Tokyo’s next Chinatown?

(BrightCitizen.com) The leftist media has done it’s best to smear Alabama’s Judge Roy Moore.  The outspoken Christian has not given in to their attacks.

From collaborative websites and a survey of the comment section of various news sites, it is clear the the public isn’t buying the pre-election release about him being a pervert.  Interestingly enough, Judge Moore’s wife isn’t buying the story either.

Bill and Hillary Clinton’s marriage was certainly a marriage of convenience.  They may have married for love back in Arkansas, but that love was long gone with the string of women that Bill went after as he seemed to have no intimacy with his wife.  Of course, men also must not succumb to temptation if they have a healthy relationship with their wife.  However, a relationship with no romance between the husband and wife is DOA.  Hillary defended her husband as he was her gravy train.  Now, the media reports that they mostly live apart.

For Judge Moore, his wife Kayla Moore is vigorously defending him.   Why?  If she thought he were a pervert, she would certainly not be living with him, nor would she go out and campaign side by side with him.

The leftists are trying to smear Judge Moore and American’s just are not ignorant of the scheme.

Alabama will elect Judge Moore and will soon have Senator Roy Moore!

It’s amazing how some of these bathrooms in Tokyo have such great views. Can you name the building?
