Good Morning from Tokyo

Nov

Mt. Fuji ... Left
Shijyuku Downtown ... Right

I am traveling away from Tokyo for two days.
I will be back to this hotel on Sunday, a day before I travel back to the US.

Ikinari Steak ... I think they still have two restaurants in NY.
I got this steak for about $27 (2900yen) ... One of the best steaks in town.
What is amazing that this is a chain of stores.

I do not eat beef that much any more ... but once in while, I would really enjoy one especially at this price.

Japanese K Car

K ... Kei ... 経
It means "light weight".

K-Cars have up to 660cc (some are turbo charged).
I do not know how safe but they are very popular in Japan.

This is called Omoide Yokocho 思い出横丁... Memory Lane ...
There are many small places to eat and drink here.

This i sone of the places I will take anyone from overseas to enjoy that street food of Tokyo. It is actually very clean ... not too cheap but you get a great feeling.

PS: This place use to be called 小便横丁 ... pissing line ... I guess it used to smell like ....

In many cities in Japan, smoking outside in prohibited except in the designated smoking area. I think it is a great idea.

Boeing 767-300

Oct

31

I flew one of the newest plane, Airbus A350-900, to fly out of Seattle.
Now I flew one of the oldest, Boeing 767-300, between Tokyo and Osaka.

Considering USAF still orders 767 as air tanker, it must be a very stable plane despite it age. 767 is the smallest wide body (two aisls) the Boeing makes.

A350-900

I finally flew Airbus A350-900 ...
I think this plane competes well with Boeing 787 in its technology but has the size of Boeing 777.
I liked it. I wish Boeing will update 777 to really compete with A350. They may have but many airlines are replacing their aging 777 to A350.

Early 2015 MacBook Pro Retina

speedtest.net
0.50mbps download ... unusable.

This is the board I need to replace.
I hope this will fix it.

I have inherited an Early 2015 MacBook Pro Retina computer. I have been working on it to clean up and install up to date operating system. It took nearly a week to get it up fully. But upon testing it, WiFi is incredibly slow. Download is not even reaching 1mbps.

So, I ordered new WiFi board from Amazon. I will get here while I am in Jaan. I will replace the board when I come back.
