Parks..

Currently, I have to work so much... Even on the weekends :-( However, around end of April, my workload will get less. I am looking so forward to it!!! On the other hand I am very proud: my current project is the hardest (and best!) I have ever done...

To combine work and fun, I work at parks at the weekend :-) Some of you might have read the book I hold in my hands:

This picture was taken in Yoyogi koen. Not a very clean park, but lots of interesting people there, haha! At some point while reading the book, I got quite distracted, since there was some photo shooting going on really close to me. I have never experienced a photo shooting before, haha. It was insane: one cute girl and 6 (!!) guys with cameras taking pictures of her (additionally some guys taking care of the light conditions).

Later that afternoon, I found an outdoor techno party that was held in the park. It was *very* loud.

I cannot believe that this was a legal party... I really miss those nice outdoor parties that I used to attend in Munich... I hope in August (I will go back to Germany for 3 weeks), I will be able to attend some more!

Hanami season has started! In 2 days, I will attend a Hanami party with my coworkers. I will post the pictures here, hehe. As you can see, last weekend, the cheery blossoms started to bloom:


Finally, I found another robot. I need it!! It's basically the draft-beer-storage-robot (literal translation of the japanese characters):

Antal Lakner

Last weekend, I went to an art exhibition with my japanese teacher. Several eastern european installation artists were shown. My favourite artist on that exhibition was the hungarian Antal Lakner.


Article about the exhibition.
More of his works: here.
Another article describes the ingenious 2G suit (unfortunately only in hungarian...).

Go at luchbreak

About 4 times a week I play Go with my colleague Morita-san during lunchbreak. We usually manage to finish our games in time. Last week, we had a very complicated game that took to long. We took a picture of the position and continued on the next day.

Here is the picture (I was black and it's white's turn in the position):


Can anyone guess the outcome of the game?
