The end of globalisation / グローバル化の終わり
日本文が後ろに続きます。 When I started my career in the late 1990s, my employer encouraged us to have a global mind to cope with Japan’s recession so-called “the lost decade”. By 2000, the words “global” and “globalisation” were used as the keywords — and sometimes buzzwords — for surviving the upcoming new millennium, followed by the dot-com…

Quarter Pounder to be sold in Japan / クォーターパウンダー日本発売開始
McDonald’s Japan announced that it would begin to sell Quarter Pounder hamburgers in stores of the Metropolitan area this Friday. You’ve had access to them only within US or on US Military bases so far, but you can eat those juicy delicious hamburgers even in Tokyo from now on. Can’t wait! 日本マクドナルドによれば、今週金曜日から首都圏のマクドナルドでクォーターパウンダーが売り出されるとのこと。これはすごくジューシーで最高にうまいんだけど、アメリカ限定販売で、横須賀の米軍基地のオープンゲートのときぐらいでないと国内で食べられなかったのが、これからは東京で食べられるようになります。早く食べたい！

Kiyosumi Garden
Today I went for a walk to Kiyosumi Garden, within a 15-minute walk from my house, because it was a sunny Japanese Thanksgiving Day and I wanted to get out of my house. These are photos. They make me feel at ease. The rest are uploaded on Flickr.
