Get spend the next 10 hours of my life on this plane.

The German Chamber of Commerce celebrated Christmas in Tokyo with great food, drink (maybe too much for a Monday night), music, and even great presents that leading international companies donated as raffle items. Wine glasses, appliances, champagne, hotel gift certificates, electronics, expensive kitchen knives, vacuum cleaners, and a lot of other classy gifts were given away to the lucky draw. It was a great event.

In the US, some say you can’t celebrate Christmas because its ‘religious’ or it might be ‘offensive’. But you can celebrate Halloween (that is also religious, of Druid origin).

When asked why some Americans are so against Christmas, one attendee said ‘Those Americans get so extreme about things’.

Christmas is a great time of the year. Yes, maybe a bit too commercialized but a great excuse to enjoy time with others. Maybe some grinches in America need to remember that.

It must be cool technology as it’s the latest and the greatest. The new iPhone X arrived today.

As high tech people, definitely need to play with this stuff. However, as the changes are incremental, these last few models of the smartphone are not that exciting.

Our best selling product is a phone service. It will be good to see how it runs our apps as thousands of people will be running them on this device as it begins to sell in Japan.

For those already using it. What do you think about your iPhone X? Worth the price?

Looks we’ll have a new emperor in Tokyo in 2019. Government is talking about giving extra national holidays to celebrate. As we’re in the cyber generation, you wonder how many people would go to see as opposed to watching it on YouTube or Vimeo.com later.

Bought Toshiba washing machine in Jan 2016. It was okay as a product but the last six months it created its own new feature.  It would start rewashing the whole load when it began the last 7 minutes of the wash cycle.  You had to stand there and wait until the last 7 minutes to make sure you didn’t have the machine constantly washing or stopping with a waterlogged load of clothes.

Thank God for the internet!  Now with people reviewing product on the internet we discovered it’s a common problem with Toshiba washing machines. Rather than calling a serviceman to temporarily ‘fix’ (because it does the same thing again as time passes), we decided it best to trash the Toshiba.

Interesting how the company’s accounting integrity issues seems to reflect in junk products.  Sad.  They are still pushing these at Costco and Yodobashi Camera.

Conclusion- don’t buy Toshiba washing machines.
