Business Trip to South Korea #3

Office staff working for our subsidiary took us to nice restaurants everyday after work.

Yes, Korean foods and drinks suited my palate very much. Some foods were too spicy, but all in all, they were delicious.

I enjoyed every meal and atmosphere of the restaurant in Korea.

 

 

 

 

Sunflower Field in Mashiko

 I went to a sunflower field in Mshiko town near Utsunomiya city with my wife the other day. It took about half an hour by car. The flowers were in full bloom attracting visitors. I’ve never seen that many sunflowers blooming in one area. The scene was amazingly beautiful.

I had thought that there were plenty of people to view the field. But, twenty to thirty staff members took care of only about ten visitors including us.

They didn’t ask us an admission charge of the field nor a parking fee. We spent only 100 yen (1.3US$) for local vegetables.

On our way back home, we stopped over pottery shops to look ceramic wares. But it’s too hot to spend enough time to choose an appropriate one. Maybe we’ll buy next time.

Miya Matsuri Summer Festival in 2011

Miyamatsuri Summer Festival 2011 fell on a rainy day again this year.

Tens of thousands of people came to Odori Avenue in front of Futarasan shrine to watch the bustle of festival one week ago. I also went out to watch it with cans of beer and cameras.
It was a great fun to me.

Business Trip to South Korea #2

After landing on Gimpo International Airport, my boss and I took a taxi and headed to Suwon; about 30-minute-ride brought us to the hotel we had booked.

Suwon lies approximately 30 kilometers (20 miles) south of Seoul. It houses one of CANON subsidiaries and many Samsung Electronics factories.
It was heavily raining.
