Farewell

I knew her from work.

She finished her term in Japan and will return to her country in two weeks.

We never went out privately, but I asked her for a dinner.
We started Robatayaki (charcoal grilled food) dinner at Ginza Hakobune Shizuku at 6 pm.

We had so much fun, so we continued our chat at Tommy Bahama, Ginza.

There is a dining place at Tommy Bahama’s butique.


Cakes and non-alcohol mojito are nice!


I’m going to miss her; we shall keep in touch!

Enjoy Girl’s Night @ the Palace Hotel Tokyo

I am invited for the Palace Hotel’s reception to have a hotel tour and to enjoy their drinks and  food.

The Hotel is located nearby the Imperial Place and Marunouchi Financial District, Tokyo; the view from the hotel is nice and open.



The hotel is a member of the Leading Hotels of the World with nice facilities.

Banquet Rooms


Evian Spa



And Rooms




Fortunately, my boss couldn’t make it to this event because he was ordered to attend a meeting that he couldn’t escape from.

I had nice drinks, food and chat with my friend from a sister organization.

Her boss cannot make it, neither because he caugh a flue: influenza.

We simply enjoyed the event without our superiors presence!

Furthermore, the event is free!




And so sweet of them, I received a door gift: raisin and cranberry witches.

Cafe Day

My friends from Singapore gave me this Singaporean brand TWG Alfonso (Mango) Iced Tea for a sourvenir.

It has rich Mango fragrance and deep flavour.

It turned my room into a nice cafe.


In the evening, I remember I have a voucher that expires on 31 August 2017 for a free sandwich or desert at Tokyo Midtown, Roppongi, Tokyo.
I decided to get a sandwich and juice for dinner.


Unfortunately, a store that I picked sold out an egg sandwich so I got a pudding.


To my sirprise, Recipe and Market’s pudding is so eggy!

It’s small, but can give you satisfaction!


It was a cafe day and calming day.

Diving @ Mikomoto, Izu Part 3 (Day 2)

On the way to the diving shop, I thought I’m lucky today because I found two crabs on the street.

This is Mikomoto Hammers, specialized in Hammerhead Sharks.


However, I could upload only these fish: threeline grunt, yellow striped butterfish, etc.

Between divings, I ate threeline grunt at Moki, Umi no Ie (Beach House Restaurant), Yumigahama Kaigan (Yumigahama Beach) Nuhahaha



Unfortunately, I couldn’t catch even one Hammerhead Shark; though, I appreciate Komei-san for his warm hearted guide and teaching me to improve my diving skills.


Thank you Komei-san, thank you Mikomoto.


I returned to Tokyo by Marine Express Odoriko 75.
