Public Transportation in Japan

Jul

29

Japan is known for one of the best railroad networks in the world. But did you know all the railroads are now owned and operated by private companies. Not a single dollar (yen) of tax money is used any more.

The only draw back is that they do not build railroad system where they do not have enough passengers to support the operation. But isn't that the way it should be?

Hotel Closure in Japan

Jul

29

The building you see in this picture is the Grand Price Hotel Akasaka. This 40 Floor Building is one of the most recognized buildings in japan but is going to be closed at the end of March next year.

It is very sad to see this building being demolished. This is another sign of slow economic recovery in Japan. Is there anybody interested in buying this building in Japan? It is a great location for business (not for a hotel).

Krispy Kreme in Tokyo

Jul

26

I completed my business trip in Japan and I got back to Seattle today. It was really warm in Tokyo.

When I was in Tokyo, one of the Krispy Kreme store opened. I went in and took a picture. I did not want wait in line. Besides I did not feel like eating warm donut in 100 degree weather.

Do what government is not doing...

Jul

15

Everybody knows governments do not know how to save nor make money. If they are companies, they would have gone under. So, as a private company, we must do what governments are not doing. And those are:

(1) Better product & service
(2) Cheaper price

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.

The service is now provided by at&t and it is free. It is about time for the business like Starbucks to provide free Internet connectivities.
