本当に美味しい料理に接すると、心まで癒されます。 最初から最後まで感激。 宝塚南口にある和食のお店。 テーブル席は二組か三組しか入らず、また客層もいいので落ち着いた雰囲気で食事を楽しめます。 こういうお店は「国の文化」だと、大げさでなく思いま…

Even such a short trip gave me some experience and information. I would like to often go to Asian cities within two or three days, with several books and my computer.

After the sightseeing, I went to the airport to come back to Japan. Comparing with Beijing Airport, Shanghai Pudong International Airport is much inferior. As Shanghai must be the most successful city in China, it is a little wonder for me…

I have a tour rule: ”Go up a high place!” So I went up the TV tower and the World Financial Center. It was interesting. There were many young female guides in fashionable uniforms.

The number of cars in China has been increasing, but driving manner has not increased. Seven years ago, I visited Shanghai. At that time, I could enjoy walking without any stress. There must have been much fewer cars at that time.

Driving manner is very bad in Shanghai. Drivers don’t care for pedestrians. In Japan, it is always “Right of Way for Pedestrians”. But in Shanghai, cars always take priority over pedestrians. One of my friends, who had already stayed two d…

Shanghai has air pollution. But it is not severer than I expected. There is a big river in Shanghai. I found that the water of the river was just muddy water. I guess that fish can’t live in such dirty water.

It took 45 minutes from Shanghai Pudong International Airport to my hotel by car. All members (my friends) could gather at the restaurant. Only I was on a two day trip. Other members had already stayed for a few days. Some of the foods in …

I started from Takarazuka at 10:10AM by car and arrived at Kansai Airport at 11:20AM. I exchanged yen into yuan there. One yuan was about 13 yen. My flight to Shanghai took off at 14:00 and flight time was only two hours and ten minutes. T…

I had a two day trip to Shanghai. I have dinner every two months with several friends of mine. This time we reserved a restaurant in Shanghai. We didn’t go together, but we were supposed to meet at the restaurant at seven at night.

マンスリーマンションの集客は100％インターネットです。 ということは、検索した時に1ページ目に自社が出てこないと話にならないということでもあります。 しかもできるだけ上位で。 つまりSEO対策が命とも言えるわけです。 ＊ もうインターネットなしでは…

今回の一泊二日の上海への旅では、いろんなことが分かりました。 まずは中国の運転マナーの悪さ。 車は歩行者のことなどお構いなく「我れ勝ち」にと突っ込んできます。 またクラクションをブウブウ鳴らすさまは、とても民度が高いとは思えません。 この数年…

ベトナムから日本に留学し土木工学を勉強しているDさんと、食事をしながらじっくりとお話をしました。 「日本の土木技術はレベルが高いか？」との私の質問に「優れている。特にトンネル技術は世界一」とのことでした。 日本の大手建設会社に内定をもらい、来…

3年ほど前に体調を崩し、入院したことがあります。 その時に生まれて初めて3日間絶食の経験をしました。 食欲がなかったので、別に苦しくも何ともなかったのですが、体重はさすがに減りました。 4キロほど減った体重を、これ幸いにと維持することにしました…

コインパーキング事業をやっていると、従来の不動産仲介業などとは違った、新しい経験をすることがあります。 コインパーキングは最初の立地が非常に大切で、立地の選択を間違えた場合は、ちょっと修正不可能です。 その場合は「撤退」が正解なのだと思いま…

I make sure that reading 1,000 books will teach me the future and the principle of the world. I have many masters and best friends in the reading world. Some of them still live, and others live in heaven. Some of them live in Japan, and ot…

“Reading 1,000 books a year” means 84 books a month. It means three books a day. But there are several days when I can’t read any books because of my business. So I try to read more than four books a day. I would like to read one book with…

I can’t read fiction, science, and a book with small letters. I like to read books about economics, management, history, language, geography, diplomacy, military, travel, health, religion, and so on.

Ohkawa Ryuho is a founder of a religious group. Though he is three years younger than I, he has already published more than 400 books. I thought:“As he can get much inspiration, he must be able to write such a lot of books.” But I heard th…

After the Great Hanshin Earthquake, I decided to read 50 books a month. I thought:”As we always have the possibility of sudden death, I will read books as many as I can while living.” Reading 50 books, I found that I could read 10 more boo…

When I was a high school boy, I read about 10 books a month. When I was a university student, it became 15. After graduation, I read 20. Several years later, I read 30 books.

So I also started to write a list of the books which I read. The list has titles of the books, the authors, the publishers and the price of each book. And I write the evaluation of the book. I give rankings according to a six grade evaluat…

My reading life started after my success in the entrance examination to high school. I thought: “I am released from the entrance examination. So I will try to read as many books as possible from now on.” Yoshida Shouin was one of the activ…
