The Summer festival of Azabu Juban is one of the bigger matsuri in Tokyo. Many vending booths are set up along the streets. Nice atmosphere for a week-end !

Happy Birthday Yuko and welcome to the beginning of a wonderous new year. May it be filled with success and joy. Thanks to Pat who organized this party in secret, this new year is starting well !

On the way for Japan, I made a half-day stop in Singapore. Just enough time to visit Sentosa island and make shopping on Orchard Road.

I spent my summer vacation in Bali, and believe me, this Indonesian island is a good candidate for Paradise ...

Each summer, Hiratsuka transforms itself into a colorful festival town drawing approximately 1.5-3 million people over the 4 days of the Tanabata festival, the star festival. Tanabata is based on an old romantic Chinese legend about two stars, Altair and Vega. This legend was brought to Japan as the star festival and the celebration began to be practiced in Japanese emperor's court, which came to be in poetry, or prayer for the realization of love.

With my colleagues from Tokyo and Hong-Kong we spent a week-end in Seoul. Twelve people for this party, a good occasion for team building and fun !

I made a one-day stop over in Hong Kong after my trip in Australia. Some pictures of Central, Admiralty and Wan Chai districts.

My holidays in Australia. A two week backpacking trip in Cairns, Alice Springs, Brisbane and Sydney. Great souvenirs and great pictures ...
