へもへも日記バックナンバー 2009年 4月 April 2009
Today is (29/04/2009)
Holiday in Japan as Green day. Basically it's Showa emperor's birthday. Martin and Buelent asked me because any mail doesn't come from Japan.
Full monty idle (28/04/2009)
There is not any news about Tsuyoshi Kusanagi. But one of newspaper in Netherlands explained about it.
Emission control sticker (27/04/2009)
I bought it at var dealer. Of course, my car passes emission control regulation. But we need sticker and put it front window in several German city. Sometimes, we have to pay 40 Euro, if we forget put it. But there is few car which put sticker in Hamburg. Because Hamburg city has not executes this regulation yet. But I need this sticker if I go to other big city.
Today (26/04/2009)
Hamburg marathon was held. I saw it in TV. Then course reporter run with top runners. It's first time me to look reporter run with top runner.
Planet Armstrong (26/04/2009)
Euro Sport broadcasts this special program of Lance once par week. This picture is after surgery.
Picture of born is available.
They explains about doping officer's visit to him.
ALready he starts training.
I watched this program before Liage-Bastogne-Liage. In German, it is Luttch-Bastogne-Luttch.
I'm planning to drive to south Germany at next weekend. The I found interesting hotel.
The eel (25/04/2009)
I went to buy eel, rise and Yakisoba today. Because there was one topic last dinner. It's Euro 16 with 2 packs. It's cheaper than before. Of course, I made special mop sauce. Of course, I cane eat rice only with this mop sauce.
Hnady (24/04/2009)
Italian sales rep took handy during president of Ferrari spokes at our new products launch meeting. martin said that Italian will use as first customer if brain installed mobile phone will be developed.
Today, Buelent participated in a training "Access Japan" He said why a lot of meetings are needed for decision with Japan. Because he studied "Nemawashi" today.
The Parable (22/04/2009)
Wolfgang said parable at the meeting. But other Japanese colleague without me can't understand. Because his parable includes information of bicycle. Other Japanese colleague don't ride bike and only one colleague doesn't know basis of this story. But other German colleague can understand. Is it same as that Japanese liken to baseball?
By the way, I and Dima spoke about dialect of Russian. I asked him about difference between Moscow and Sankt-Peterburg. He taught me there is not strong difference in the Russia. Only small accent difference and small spell difference are available. It's interesting me. As you know Russia has huge area.
It's under than 10 degree at 7:00 (21/04/2009)
I went to office by bike with long arm under wear and short arm bike wear. It's enough for bike ride even this temperature. I had to worming up roughly 5 minutes. It' s same even I wear other warm crosses.
Finished to show my flat (20/04/2009)
Now, it's best condition since last 1 year. I'm thinking to take care my flat to keep clean. Should be, I will select if some item was necessary or not.
And also, I brought him to bike shop in Hamburg. he asked me if I found it by myself. Actually Japanese support colleague taught me only web site of one bike shop. Therefore I found these kind of information by myself. Because other Japanese doesn't know bike as one kind of sport items. Sometimes they order me if it was possible to lent my bike. They don't know each sport bike is correct position for each owner.
The good item for German part 4. This is convenience back.
I bought it at Tokyu Hanse before left from Japan. I don't look these kind of convenience item in Germany. I put transfer valve adapter, convenience patch, hexagon screw and money in this back. I bring this back, wind breaker, digital camera, mobile phone and light food when I ride bike. It's enough equipment for me.
Mistake (19/04/2009)
I bought new SD card for the digital camera, because it's Euro 5 even 4 GB size. But may camera can't recognize this card because of large size for my camera. i will use this by using CF adapter or to my note PC.
The good item for German part 4. This is convenience punk patch.
I used same type of patch in Japan. It help me if I used all spare tube far from my flat. So I faced a lot of puncture when I came to Hamburg. because A lot of broken grass are available on the road in Germany.
Le Mans is done today. (19/04/2009)
Therefore broadcast of Amster gold race started from 3 PM. I like Euro-sport, because they broadcast a lot of kinds of sport.
Today, Arashiro escaped. Then Euro-Sport spoke about him that he born Okinawa Japan and his weight is 65 kg. Is it wirght?
By the way (18/04/2009)
I'm reading Japanese bike magazine. They inform how change gear. And they showed one tips "Campagnolo can shift front and rear shift simultaneously". Can't you use right and left hand finger simultaneously? I can change front and rear shift by using Shimano. It's no problem. And also we have to take care to avoid jamming of chain in case of these gear shift.
Recently, I think that the skill level of car driving is same as bike riding. German drive car very well, and also they ride bike very well in the pack. Because they look around before start movement like lane change. Even JCRC, a lot of rider change lane without looking before. Why do they do like this? I can't like this because I feel it's dangerous. And also, drive car in Germany is easy. I can look 3 or 4 cars movement through the window. Because a lot of car don't use smoke type grass. So I look far direction as usual. This behaviour helps me to look far direction not only neighbour in the bike pack. it's impossible to special behaviours on the bike if you don't do on the car.
My flat is changing to clean day by day (16/04/2009)
I'm taking care to not buy a lot of items. I will return to Japan in the future. And I will not able to bring back everyone to Japan. But I'm planning to buy new road bike. I ride KG281 roughly 10 years. I think it's time to change to the new bike. And also I'm planning to buy new cycrocross type bike. Which is better to buy German brand?
He will come (15/04/2009)
Therefore, I've been cleaning my flat.
House mister will come to check how I used oil heater and water in this time. He has to access to these meter in bed room and living room. And also new colleague has come to Hamburg. I thought the situation to show him my flat as one case of single person room in Germany. Actually he asked me, but I said to him "Please wait by next week, I have to clean my room" Please don't ask me how it's bad condition before.
And I think it's good time to make my flat as perfect. So I put some of item as junk.
Additional information. (15/04/2009)
Yesterday, I showed rubber bush. I don't use my road bike. Because it use full outer line for rear brake. So brake wire doesn't beat on the cobble road. And also shift wire doesn't need this bush, if shift wire is set up during down tube. There is enough space to avoid wire beat.
Can you imagine how cobble road is terrible by vibration?
The good item for German part 2 (14/04/2009)
Robber bush for wire of bike.
it avoid that brake and shift wire on the top tube beat bike frame when I ride bike on the cobble road. It's so noisy. Can you imagine this sounds? Some of bike rider in Japan think that it's for complete set bike. But actually it helps in the Europe. I agree professional team doesn't use it because they have to change wire day by day, and it's not helpful for mechanic. But I prefer to use if you don't change wire less than 6 month.
I bough it at Nalsima Frend. I know it's possible to buy in the Europe. But I don't know the name of this.
It's hot (13/04/2009)
I set potable music player on the bike. Because summer type bike wear is not good to put this player.
Does it look special holder for bike?
I modify player holder for arm to the bike. So I listen music on the bike without earphone.
There are blue indications on the road in Hamburg city. Because Hamburg marathon will be held end of April. I followed this indication when I back to home from city centre, because my flat is neighbour of official course.
The good item for German part 1.
The transfer adapter from American type valve to the French type valve. I use it in Japan and Germany. Because it helps me if urgent situation. I can use pump in the petrol stand. So it's important to think how I can back to the home by myself.
90 (12/04/2009)
I saw one track during drive to the office.先日、通勤中に見たトラックのナンバーの国表記がTR。TR? 一応、EU加盟国みたいなナンバーデザインなんで欧州のどこかとは思うんだけど、何処だろ? 思い当たらなかったんで、トラックの横の宣伝の電話番号を覚えておく。90かあ。
で、調べてみればトルコぉ!!! あそこから走ってきたのかあ。ギリシアよりも遠いんだよ。
Paris Rouvex (12/04/2009)
Euro sport start to show it from PM 2:00. In this time race has still 130km to goal. Finally Boonen won, for him he didn't do special attack, because competitor lost time by themselves.
I heard that Tama river cycling road is making speed down purpose structure. How about to make cobble road in each 1 km? Of course, it's not Japanese type cobble road, is European type terrible cobble road. For me, gravel road in Komae area is easy to pass.
Focus does advertisement in the Euro Sport program. May be they are planning growth sales because they are supplying bike to the pro team.
It's first time to listen Framish language by speaking of Tom Boonen. Because Belgian and Dutch change immediately to speak English if there are none Framish and Dutch speaker. before, Martin asked me if I could recognize which language is spoken if it's not German. I can recognize Japanese, English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Russian without meaning. Which language can you recognize?
Since yesterday (11/04/2009)
Europe is in Easter holiday by next Monday. Today is only one day which shop opens. I went to central station area and ate past. Because I found one shop is in neighbour of central station. In this shop, I can order front of cook.
By the way, we were surprised in last business trip.
On colleague participated in this academicals meeting to attend one of new products. I met him when I went to Barmbek station to go to the airport. I asked him if you lived in around here. His answer was "Yeas, I live in there, do you know post office?" Really? So, he lives in same street, and difference is only 50m.
He joined our company last end of year. Therefore I don't talk with him like our team. So i don't know who lives in neighbour of my flat. He lives in there roughly 4 years, therefore we have been neighbourhood 2 years.
By the way, it's better to train that sport even season off training. For example, Mr. Kumimitsu Takahashi said that he didn't do other training. Because he could train his muscle by car driving. And Michael Schmacher did season off training by cart racing. So I bought special DVD of Schmacher. It's good. He drives cart with long tail slide at high speed corner without steering.
And also, I bought DVD of Walter Roel. His driving technick is fantastic. He uses right and left legs to kick brake pedal in each situation.
Of course (10/04/2009)
I took picture of Krakow Poland.
It's the church in the central market area, which is famous as typical sight seeing area in Krakow. We met here at 8:30 to go to dinner with Polish sales reps. I forgot to pack some of under wear, so I went to shopping in advance.
This is inner of central building of market area. Now there are a lot of souvenir shops.
What does this monument mean?
We went this restaurant in the evening of 2nd day. This restaurant works from 1364. The price is cheaper than Germany.
This is out side of central area. University is out side of central area. There are farm area even we drive 2 minutes.
And it's cherry blossom in the garden of my flat.
After packing of products. (08/04/2009)
Martin said during to go to hotel, "It's good weather to not back to home. We were in under ground all day" That's all to explain about our business trip. I never can't say like "It's good to go to October fest" if business trip is available to go to Munich at end of September.
And also Buelent said after his hunny moon "I didn't know. Our often us hotel is in very easy area to go to every where in the London" So we don't go to sight seeing when we went London as business trip. Therefore these kind of speaking explain which kind of business trip is done usually for each person.
Business trip (07/04/2009)
Some of Japanese colleague thinks it's easy business trip and it's possible to enjoy sight seeing.
It's wrong understanding, because they don't go for these kind of business trip. I think it's easy if I only support attend of our booth or only participate in academicals meeting without making report. I have to check some of important talk and also I have to take care technical question if participants asks about it in our booth. So I don't have a time to relax in these days.
I can use LAN in the hotel (05/04/2009)
and shop opens even Sunday.
During go to central area of Krakow from airport, I could recognized that I passed here when I used buss 2 years ago. So it's easy to recognize road if I don't uses navigation system.
There is strong smell in the Hamburg city (04/04/2009)
I didn't recognize it 2007. Because I wasn't Hamburg to go for 2 academicals meeting of microscope in Spain and the UK. Last year, one of meeting was held in Japan. Therefore I recognized it as first time. This year, I will go for Krakow Poland to participate in one of academicals meeting. Of course I will take compensate holiday.
Off training (03/04/2009)
Cross country skiing and skate are not better for off training of road racer. Because the movement of legs is not same. Especially wide stance is not better for bike racer. I watched one TV program when Ms. Seiko Hashimoto was national team for Olympic games. Then bike trained explained her leg movement has skater characteristic and it's not better for pedalling. Of course, she ha strong performance for power and heart. therefore She won in Japan.。
And it's possible to do bike training even cold winter in the Europe. Therefore biker doesn't need to do off season training with other sports. And also bike race needs long term training, but it's impossible to do like bike with skiing and running.
In my mind, bike is easiest training without to go to special place. For me it's unbelievable to go to special place to training of bike like Oi huto. Why these people uses car to bring bike to Oi huto? Why don't you use bike to go to training area?
やられた! (02/04/2009)
One of colleague, who has gone to London to do installation, called me. Why Tokyo made these kind of set up manual which prefer only one products which is not main? So, I answered to him to how to set up by my decision. But, I've not seen this products until now. Therefore I'd like to go for Japan as training. I can't say "I don't know"
By the way, English of Armstrong is good to listen even American. How about his explanation "the Eagle has landed" This Armstrong is Neal, is not Lance.
We had system training (01/04/2009)
I was informed that today's training will be done by English. Some of day, it's done by German. But trainer said, "Today, you are only one of Japanese" Of course, training was done by English even other trainee was German.
