Bombay To Goa (1) – Getting a car in Bombay

Being tempted by an evil spirit, I finally started looking for a car. You may ask “Do you even have an Indian driver’s license?” Nope! So I started going to a driving school to get an Indian driver’s license at the same time. I never had the idea of driving a car in Bombay before. [ READ MORE ]

Completed Three Years

One of my old senior staff, H, said to me, “Continue three years anyway, so it will be something.” Here, I have just completed three years working for this Indian venture company, and, yeah, may I say it is definitely something to me. I don’t know what exactly it means to me, though. This is [ READ MORE ]

Tibetan Gyoza Stall

Two months ago, one Tibetan family opened a small food stall of momo on the street in front of my office. Momo is a Tibetan food which is very similar to steamed gyoza, Chinese dimsum.   A young Tibetan boy opens the small stall at 2 p.m.; the stall is only 1.5 meter wide and [ READ MORE ]

Mango as Happiness and Love

One day, after he finished his usual dinner with prawns, he noticed he got rush and went to a nearby hospital. The doctor announced him very shocking news. “You [ READ MORE ]

Love of Sales

Sales is like the smell of the fresh cookies from the oven in front of a Cookieman shop. To make the effect doubly sure, they pass a piece of cookie to my hand for free. It’s a killer, a bad boy. I can’t resist opening the zipper (of my purse). In another words, sales is [ READ MORE ]

Upgrading Me

I am from Aichi, where TOYOTA dominates the economy. In Aichi, you can see everyone drive TOYOTA cars on the street, because they are not allowed to buy other brands’ cars. Pretty high percent of people have a friend or relatives who work for TOYOTA in a way (even if they are not TOYOTA employees, [ READ MORE ]

A Mature Consumer Culture

The moment I miss Japan at most in India is when ripping a plastic bag of snacks. It’s because it doesn’t open by hands. I concentrate all my force on the cut line where’s supposed to be open, get exhausted, even get a headache, and finally find myself looking for a pair of seizers. If [ READ MORE ]
