2nd earthquake

Morning, sunny day, my first time on a bike to the lab, which in fact is not that easy in Tokyo! Belive me or... try by yourself to understand ^^


I got busy at the lab and then... aaa.... 7,2 earthquake just hit... Luckily the epicenter was far enough that nothing happened in Tokyo, but it was strong enough to make me dizzy for few minutes! I felt like on the boat with 6 in Beaufort scale... ;) uuu... uuu...

However, in the evening, with friends from my residence, we went out in Shinjuku to discover Shinjuku night life and CHEAP beer in bars! :D

Recommendation: Wednesday is not the best day for Shinjuku, not like Roppongi ;)

Pink Ladies, T-Birds... Just 1950s American high school in... Tokyo!!!

Every Sunday in a Harajuku Gate to Yoyogi Park a crazy lovers of 1950s are meeting dressed up in the 'grease era' style. They dance, sing, and just listen to the 1950s music...

The weather this Sunday was just great, so together with my new neighbors we went to Yoyogi Park to check it out ;) We got to see not only crazy rockers, but also a park is just amazing and first sakura this year!

Additionally... I bought a bike on a way back home! Silver with a BROWN seat! The seat was the most important to one on my neighbor, so... here I have it!!!

According to Japanese you cannot find a second hand bike in Japan, but according to my experience from this Sunday... it is possible to buy a second hand bike in Tokyo!!! You just have to ask international people, not locals! They have no idea about life in Tokyo ;) ;P

Fussa, a crazy R'n'B place

Fussa, it is like 1,5h by train from Tokyo, but it is so much worth it to go. If you like R'n'B you will not regret this decision!

It was a birthday party of a friend of mine and it was as good as a good birthday party should be!

so... again, Happy Birthday M!!!

Roppongi night!

After a brain storming during a conference and a great food, is time for... party :)

With some friends visiting me we went to Roppongi! It is like a place to be at night! Clubs, Vibrations and Gaspanic, are already checked as places worth to spend a night!

And the sunrise at the top of Roppongi Hills with a view to Mt. Fuji... Yes... Nothing better then going strait to the lab after this great night and a cup of sakura coffee from Starbuck's!!!
