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.
I had to say a few words about them online.
Looking forward to see how they will develop in the future.

Osaragi Saroh

Private Dinner Party at Osaragi Saroh in Kamakura.
a very old and traditional residence turned into a tea shop.
Osaragi Saroh also caters to wedding parties and private parties.
The party I attended was a gathering a tailors, and people of other
bespoke related industries. The wine and food were first class, just delicious.
The heavy rains kept us inside allowing us to relax and totally enjoy the
antiquated ambiance.

I guess the combination of wine and ambiance sent me on a photo spree with my
iPhone that continued even after the party was over. Using one of the photo
apps in my iPhone to give the photos the old film look movie stills look I
just kept snapping.

Birthday Week

CIMG9085_sm

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 with
busy and uncoventional schedules, it really makes sense to be able to catch up to
family and friends.

Officially the actual birthdate is October 1st and the celebration starts on
the 1st and ends on the 7th.

Enjoyed a low key, satisfying meal at Yutenji-Diner. The meal featured this
shio motsu nabe, among other delicacies. (everything seems to taste good there)

Of course there were many other restaurants bars and places of celebration but
this year I took the time to savor the moment and didn’t take many pictures.

Soleil Provence Beach Cleaning Event

Oct. 4th
My friends at Soleil Provence organized a beach cleaning event in Kugenuma.
This was my first beach cleaning and I wasn’t quite sure what to expect.

CIMG9207_sm

The cleaning was about 30mins where a nice group of people got together
and had fun cleaning and also surveying the collected items (they took a count).

back at Soleil Provence the baker had some choice items ready to serve up
to the hungry volunteers
