Hakodate ramen in Hamamatsu

Business trip to Hamamatsu again.

I left home at 7 in the morning and backed home almost in the midnight.
Fuuuu. It was a long day...

The meeting continued for four hours.

When I finished my work, I missed the Shinkansen that I wanted to take and had to wait for one more hours.

It was almost dark in the evening. I looked for a ramen shop In the Hamamatsu station.

There was a Hakodate ramen shop.
Why Hakodate in Hamamatsu?

Anyway, I tried a shio (salt taste) ramen.






It looked good, but actually, the taste was not good enough.

karaoke singing

After looking around the Jingugaien, we went to a karaoke with friends.

A half is american and the other is Japanese.

They are very good at singing not only English songs but also Japanese songs.

We sang for three hours!
and enjoyed karaoke very much.

(I sang Yume-shibai (a dream stage) by Tomio Umezawa, and Down by Jay Sean.) :-)







We backed home very late, and my iPhone battery and my energy was almost empty...

Buy TV

In Japan there is a subsidy if you buy a digital TV.

Many people rush into shops because the subsidy will end by this year.

We bought one though the shop was crowded.

After buying the TV, we went to have a dinner at a Chinese restaurant.

InterBEE

I was going to Makuhari Messe to see InterBEE.

But in the morning, Odakyu line was stopped and I had to wait more than an hour.

So I could see only for 30 minutes!

Anyway, what I was mostly impressed at this show was Sony's digital cinema camcorder.



The camera spec was really good.

Full house

Today I'm having a business trip to Hamamatsu again.
(Even just after back from US!)

When I tried to reserve a Shinkansen, there was no sheet available!

I tried and tried through the Internet, and finally got the ticket just 30 minutes before the departure time.

When I checked the other sheets at the station, only Hikari around 7am to 9am were full, where Nozomi were still available.

I don't know why only Hikari, but anyway I learned that I should reserve morning Shinkansen by the day before.
