I distinctly remember Maradona played his legendary goal at FIFA World Cup in 1986. It was around 2 AM midnight in Japan in my University days. His steps and passing 5 opponents were brilliant. I took an interest in Argentine soccer. I totally agree Messi’s tweet “ he is eternal .”

Typhoon 12 The typhoon 12 did not cause big damage to Tokyo. The weather report said that it would arrive at Tokyo on Sunday 20. Our company canceled the big meeting on Friday. However Sunday 20 was a sunny day. The typhoon have already passed. By the way, Japanese people give the number to the typhoon such as 12, 13..... while Americans use the women's name including Hurricane Katrina. Women's name sounds more scary than number!

Darkest hour I watched a movie “ Darkest hour”. It describes Winston Churchill. It was a great movie. The most impressive scene is the prime minister took a subway and listened to the ordinary people’s opinion. He was struggling to decide whether the Britain starts to negotiate with Germany or keep fighting. He could make a decision to keep fighting because all people in the tube said to him “ We will never give up”.

Happy Prince I read an English novel called "Happy Prince" written by Oscar Wild. It was an interesting story of a swallow and a statue of prince. He repeated "Swallow, swallow, little swallow, do as I command you." This phrase still stay in my heart.

Jamiroquai show in Tokyo I went to a concert of Jamiroquai! It was an awesome time. As an encore, he performed his most famous song " Virtual Insanity". He said that he thought of its lyrics in Japan. I'm glad to hear that.

A boring research meeting I participated in the research meeting in Osaka. It is 2 hour train ride to go to Osaka from Tokyo. The meeting was boring. At the opening, 5 people said greetings by 5 minutes each. I fell asleep during the lecture. I left there by the end of the meeting and went to the department store. It made me feel reflesh.

Tokyo marathon Tokyo marathon game took place today. Thirty four-year old man from Kennya won the first place. His time was the best record in Japan.

The Italian restaurant "TERZO" Last Friday, I went to a Italian restaurant called "TERZO" . It is 5 minutes walk from the north exit of Kinshi-cho station on Sobu line in Tokyo. The most delicious food was a pizza with foie gras. We ate the pizza with honey! This combination looks strange, however I found that it was perfect!

The first emperor of Qin dynasty One of my favorite histrical people is the first emperor of Qin dynasty in China. He unified China for the first time and build the great wall of China. His tomb was called mausoleum.
