How To Do Hair For Volleyball

Tokyo Tower and palpitations.


For a number of pleasant coincidences, lately I often come across the transcendental view of Tokyo Tower. For example along the
Sakurada Door 桜 田 通, returning from several recent raids at the Italian Embassy, \u200b\u200bpeaceful place populated by beautiful people (the heat combined with Italian Japanese efficiency, there is nothing better in the world).

Same thing last night, I went to yet another job interview.
perfectly ironed white shirt and tied, full black hair and seeds collected. Black shoes with a slight heel and a bow frivolous, just to remind the world that are girl.


But back to her, the real star of this post.
Last night was all lit up in gold, in his usual evening dress, and winked at her side was a bit of moon. Just released from
underworld of the Hibiya-sen and caressed by an unexpected spring breeze, accompanied by brisk walk this surreal vision, forgetting that slight sense of unease that regularly accompanies me prior to any meeting.

the way, someone has to explain why the Japanese have all the creative director of long hair, is tan and wear only black or white t-shirt.

Groping On Trains Japan Movies

Japan. Power and glory 1568/1868

source http://www.mostragiapponemilano.it/

I welcome a report received by e-mail inviting me to submit my blog on an important cultural event in the course until 8th March 2010: The Show "Japan. Power and splendor 1568/1868", hosted in the Palazzo Reale in Milan.

Info and reservations online at the official site www.mostragiapponemilano.it



"The exhibition, which is part of the activities dedicated in 2009 by the City of Milan to Japan , illustrated with works of the highest level, including some national treasures never seen in Italy, the extraordinary cultural transformation, social and economic situation of Japan over three centuries, ranging from Momoyama period (1568-1615 ) to the Edo period (1615-1868).

screens, also of imposing size, horizontal and vertical scrolls and silk paintings on paper, but also precious lacquer and ceramics, armor, textiles and masks tell the fascinating chapter in Japanese history identified with the birth of the modern world, which was built around two key nuclei and cultural power: Edo (now Tokyo), the administrative capital, and Kyoto, the imperial capital. The exhibition tackles fact that very crucial period in which modern Japan was formed through the plot and the comparison between the environment and feudal Samura one hand and the new middle class financial and business second, but also in the coexistence of the ancient traditions of the imperial court.

The brief Momoyama period takes its name from the area of \u200b\u200bKyoto, which became home to the magnificent castle built by Nobunaga fattovi. The period is characterized by an extraordinary artistic production in painting, but also the applied arts. New schools of painting flourished and craft centers arise in the highest quality in lakes such as ceramics, textiles such as weapons.

The Edo period is one in which the Tokugawa family, finally conquered the country, managed to carry on an iron grip freezing the feudal system. With the title of shÿgun , the highest authority in political, administrative and military of Japan, Ieyasu granted to the emperor in 1603, this family ruled the country for two and a half centuries almost total isolation from the rest of the world. This pax Tokugawa led the country in an impressive development of both urban and middle class, only to undermine the dominance of the aristocracy of the sword from the daimyÿ , the feudal lords and the samurai, their vassals [ ...]".

Simply unmissable.

How Much Can A Super Absorbent Tampax Hold?

time to turn the page.

There have been other medium to long periods in which, for various reasons, I have not found the time to update this blog. Moments full of commitments, thoughts, reflections, but also of countless races on the metro to try to speed up the acclimatization "in this teeming desert They call ... Tokyo."

This time, however, was a bit 'different. There was no day that has not opened this blog with the intent to force myself to write something again, maybe tomorrow I hope to have the right words to say. But those words I was hoping to say - especially to myself, well those have never arrived.
Not that I can, so unless I want to give myself the excuse to tear a page of my life. Just the face that page.

And here I am again here to tell you, though mega late (Luke forgive me), a small kitten in my recent adventure Yuka-chan ...

... with great pleasure that she posed with Luke during a pleasant dinner with friends of the blog (and others) in a pizza restaurant in Tokyo.
For me it was a great opportunity to find some 'of that boisterous merriment which, admittedly, a little bit I'm missing here. But even for those who live chat with my own experience in a thousand other ways, trying to give their best without stooping to compromises unjust.

A heartfelt thank you to Luke and his wonderful and amazing family, Mu and his sweetheart, a So, Marcello and the other guys sitting at the bottom of which are unfortunately not able to talk.
