This is one example of those late melancholic posts. I finally had the chance to see Tokyo a second time last Winter. The first time was way back in the Autumn of 2013 when I was invited by a major Japanese furniture manufacturer to attend a 3-day convention.

I remember the last time when I passed off an opportunity in the office for a free winter travel to this country. I really regretted that one. Read More
