Lunch ... at Costco Taipei

May

31

I wanted to buy some gifts back to the states, so I went to Costco ... I had lunch there. It looks the same.

#CostcoTaipei

Day two ... I start to understand how the train network is in Taipei. There told me all trains here are unmanned. It is very clean and well kept. I am very impressed with this country ... or I should say this city. People are very friendly with a lot -of smile.

Rainy Season in Taiwan

May

It is rainy season in Taiwan. I did not realize Taiwan has a tropical weather. Trees are like trees you find in jugles.

Taipei ... COMPUTEX

Japanese Lunch

May

This is one of the best lunch in Japan. Most of all, the portion is much smaller than the US.

To Our Staff ... This is Kabukisho at Sunday Night

May

Miura-san

When my staff arrived in Japan, Miura-san gave them a tour of Shinjyuku Kabukicho during the day. So, he asked me to send the picture of Kabukicho at night.

I think you can get the idea.

Delivery Service

May

26

This is very interesting. It is the same thing as Amazon and other online services but this service is completely based on off lime model. You receive calorie with order speed weekly. You order using ordering form. One week later you received everything you ordered. When you receive your order, you give them what yiu want for next week. This service is not limited to food item ... it covers everything.

This is done without any internet. Delivery fee is free. This, according to my parents, reduces the number of visit to the supermarket.

How do you make hot water at home?

May

24

In Japan, almost all houses have a hot water kettle or an electric hot water pot. Those are used to make hot water for tea and coffee ... I don't see many in the US houses. I wonder sometime how people in the US make hot water.

>65 = 25%

May

20

What is this equation?

>65 = 25%

No it is not a math. It is the population off Japan. 25% of people in Japan are over 65 years old. That is an alarming number. And to ease the generation gap, older people are learning how to use computers.

This is one of the non-profit organization PSPinc support in Japan to teach elderlies how to use computers.

Doman, Web, Email

Congratulations!
You started your own business.

Let's make sure you have at least the minimum presence on the Internet.

Facts:

Got that?

Dear Marketing Professionals

May

Thank you for sending lovely form letter to my attention. After careful consideration I have decided to place your email in the trash. If you need to know why I did such a rude thing to your email, here are the reasons

(1) I have no idea who you are or even if you are a company.
(2) You have not spend time to look at my business to send your email.
(3) Your proposal sure to benefit your company but not mine.

I can go on but you already know that. If you decide propose me something that is based on the result, I am all ears.

KIROBOTO

May

18

Every business I know wants to sell more products to more people. From the very small startup to multi billion dollar corporations, from the an entrepreneur to a multi millionaire, they are all looking for more sales. And there are millions of people telling you how to sell more. But they are also looking for more customers.

I have been in business for 30 years ... I still have not figured out how to sell. Nor I found the right tool to sell ... not the one I can afford.

This is the reason why I have designed and developing KIROBOTO market place. It will take months before I can show you what it does. But it will help you market and sell your products. And it will not cost you anything.

I just want you to know something called KIROBOTO is coming.

Bellevue Real Estate Market

May

14

Today was second week in a row that they are having open house.
I kind of think they priced it too high.

There are new town houses that are being built just west of our office. And those town hoses will be selling for $750,000 ~ $950,000. I heard there are over 250 people in the waiting list for that development. There is a house for sale just east of our office and is listed for $950,000.

Just few days ago I heard of your household is making less than $72,000 a year, you are considered POOR in Seattle. Everything is just going up. I am afraid it is going to crash again.

New Store ... Fred Meyer Bellevue

I went to Fred Meyer Bellevue .. It is newly renovated. I cannot believe it is Feed Meyer ... It reminds me of Wholes Foods. It took so long for the renovation. Bellevue is not a very business friendly place.
