2nd day part 2 (30/06/2009)
We went for Antwerp after Leiden via Den Harg
This is famous church as dog of Franders.
And we moved to Brussels. This is city hall in Grand place
2nd day (29/06/2009)
This is Leiden and Seybold house.
Tour (29/06/2009)
Fummy got seat for Tour de France. I think that Japanese team doesn't try to participate. It's better to focus on find good rider and help them to get high performance level. Is there any strong team in the UK and Ireland? But there are lot of strong rider.
Parents has backed to Japane (28/06/2009)
For me, it's easy. There was one person who said "What would you like to show me? even this person requested me to bring there. My parents enjoyed and satisfied to travel in the Europe.
This is windmill in Saans Skans
And royal palace in Amsterdam. I don't like Amsterdam,. May be, it's last time to visit there as private trip.
Michael Jackson dead (27/06/2009)
It means that easy to get flight to London?
In this time (26/06/2009)
I've heard Podcast during drive to Netherlands and Belgium. So underground is not better to hear because of noise. I'm getting "Tokyo local", "Making sense" and "Avanti waiting var"
I've came back (25/06/2009)
I booked hotel not only Amsterdam but also Aachen. So it's good choice. Because we could see not only Netherlands but also Belgium and Germany.
I'm looking HH (22/06/2009)
We will go for Netherlands and Belgium. The root is decided by me. Of course I will not go for bicycle sight seeing point.
New comer (20/06/2009)
is searching his flat. Then he asked about around of Elbe river to me and Wolfgang. Then
W "There are apple tree"
K "There are a lot of sheep"
Both "and nothing"
So I will go for Munich airport to pick up parents.
During back home from the IKEA (19/06/2009)
I saw indicator of German Derby. It's 140 times race in history. At once, visitor from Tokyo stayed in Hotel front of race course, because other hotel was full booked. They said it's nice hotel.
New digital camera system (19/06/2009)
I didn't know Panasonic launched wide zoom lens. But it's too expensive. I can't buy over 1000 Euro lens. So I will wait by our company launch new wide zoom lens.
There are some discussion in web site if it was DSLR. It's easy to think that this new system is removable lens system for digital camera. Or it's successor of range finder system of firm camera.
One o dreregious of upper bracket position (18/06/2009)
leader of a sect is Lance Armstrong. Main part is the Europe. It's not major in Japane. The reason is that Japanese rider doesn't change bracket position after they bought bike. And a lot of Japanese rider use handle by pulling. But it's easy to push handle for long ride on the cobble road.
My feeling (17/06/2009)
The strong difference between Giro de Italia and Tour de France is the number of audience.
I had to keep my place roughly 3 hours before when race come to Paris. But I had not to keep my place at Rome. Of course, the situation is not same. It's vacation season during Tour de France, and it's normal season during Giro de Italia.
New camera (16/06/2009)
I talked with Wolfgang about new camera system. Because his dream was photographer. Actually, it's not light compare with my small DSLR. But it has unti vibration function and has metal exterior. So it's reasonable weight. For me, it's good that this camera doesn't have eye pieces and flash. I don't use flash with DSLR usually. And unti vibration function help it. I will wait till price down and launch of wide zoom lens.
This is Vatican museum.
and Colosseum
One bloger said (15/06/2009)
about the length of head tube. I think European likes upper bracket settings. In my experience during ride in the Europe, Cobble road require these position. Why Japanese doesn't select these position even they like European position?
Terminal 5 in the Heathrow airport (14/06/2009)
I like this airport and terminal. Because a lot of shops are available not only cosmetic and alcohol as typical duty free shop but also book and sport wear.
I ate Japanese type chicken katsu curry, The price was only 10 pounds with drink.
Germany and other country (14/06/2009)
martin asked me during flight from Amsterdam to Hamburg what is difference between Germany and Netherlands. Answer is the number of windmill as power station. Because Germany helps to construct windmill, but Netherlands doesn't have such of budget.
And he asked difference from Belgium. There is light in the motorway only in Belgium. Theretofore we can recognize from aircraft in night. The first picture is biggest windmill in Germany. The height of engine is 100m and span of wing is 60m.
I bought this wear at Glasgow. One bike shop is neighbour of dormitory for students.
Rossi won! (14/06/2009)
I love him because he don't give up by the end. I know reason why. Sometimes Harada kicked out him at 250cc class like today's race.
Le Mans (13/06/2009)
There is interesting image which is observed on board camera. Especially night session image is interesting.
I checked book shop in Heathrow airport (13/06/2009)
Then I found special magazine of Tour of France. It's only Pound 10, and includes special DVD of The Science of Lance Armstrong and Eddy Mercx - Cycling Legend
Once again (12/06/2009)
I went for Glasgow. So we had to go for there before this scientific meeting in Glasgow. Today, we packed our products and move to airport immediately. So I couldn't eat lunch. But I had time at Heathrow. Therefore I could go for Wagamama.
Height of wheel magnet (08/06/2009)
I saw shop master of silbest cycle. Of course I put magnet at same level for all of wheels. But I put magnet at higher position as possible. I use magnet as wheel balancer weight. In this purpose, it's better to put weight highest position. Because I can reduce weight of balancer by putting weight highest position.
I went for Bank (08/06/2009)
I did miss take to input wrong Pin number. Because I misunderstand cash card and credit card.
I recognized reason why. I remove any card from my wallet in Italy to afraid dip. Then I put wrong position both card. But Rome was safety, because a lot of policeman and military police was available for final stage.
Why (07/06/2009)
Does Japanese like Golf? Actually population of Golf is increasing in Germany. But the ration is totally difference compare with football, bicycle, running and walking. A lot of Japanese colleague does Golf, but few German colleague does Golf. For me it's normal with German colleague because a lot of people in the R&D don't Golf. I don't have plan to start Golf. Because I'm enjoying bike and would like to wake up early in weekend.
In the Funride magazine (06/06/2009)
Mr, Takurino write some issues about Italian and northern European. I think Italian has to take care a lot. Because their personality is loose. But German and Belgian are not loose like Italian. Therefore, they didn't find any difference if coach takes care a lot.
We went for Glasgow via Amsterdam (06/06/2009)
Therefore we had immigration to the Schengen area at Amsterdam airport. It's easy for me. Because immigration officer doesn't ask about my visa. There was long cue, when we arrived Amsterdam from Glasgow, because a lot of flights arrived that time from the USA.
We wait long time. Because officer asks lot of question to American passenger, They were asked about purpose, period, where they stay, and their flight to back to the USA. So I'm afraid that officer ask me a lot. But he said only "Konnichiwa" after he saw my Japanese passport.
Anyway (05/06/2009)
I've backed from business trip to the Glasgow UK. There were 2 purposes, have meeting with customer who claims, change parts which finished life time. Main purpose was first one. So service division person requested us 2nd one, because we went for the Glasgow.
We couldn't have lunch, because we had meeting until half passed three, and went for Cancer research centre immediately after meeting. It's usual business trip for us.
For the achieve domination (03/06/2009)
I went for Germany, Poland, Denmark, Belgium, Spain, Netherlands, the UK, Norway, France, Austria, Switzerland, Ireland, Hungary, Italy and Vatican city.
And also I went for the UK, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, the USA and Canada.
