Back to writing about my trip to the south of France in early June. The walk in Marseille continues after a lovely lunch.
We took a local bus up to the picturesque church on a hill.
On the way back we took the more touristy ride.
After chillin’ out in the hotel bar, went out for a light pleasant dinner.
The main purpose of my recent China trip was to attend an anime event that was being held in Shanghai.
And after all that was done, we had a big party for all involved.
This went on until after midnight. Feeling still a little full the next morning, I went down for breakfast much later than normal as I had the whole morning free and did not plan to go out.
Sunday morning in Shanghai. Lots of ships going down the river.
And off to the airport.
Goodbye Shanghai until September.
Another trip earlier today out of Narita. Am now in Shanghai, China, attending a festival on business.
Our ride to the hotel.
Checked in.
Beautiful view!
There wasn’t any designated “free time” while being in LA on business last weekend but I did find some Champagne time away from the event I was attending on the 24th floor of the Ritz-Carlton right after the bar opened at 5 pm. ^^
So I took off on another trip on Thursday, June 29 but before doing so, stopped by a local voting post to cast an absentee ballot for the upcoming election for the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly.
This trip is an unusual one for me in that I am with a group of people including colleagues and people from other companies to go to a convention being held in LA this weekend.
Zipped to LA. Our plane landed much earlier than scheduled and had to keep taxiing round and round the same route more than three times until our gate was ready.
Finally in and out of the terminal at LAX.
Our rooms were not ready so off to the Grand Central Market behind our hotel for some lunch.
Ordering lunch
Took a table near this nice bar (but didn’t buy from it) and waited for our lunch with a nice cup of cold craft beer.
Lunch is served. Had a really good lamb burger.
Walk back to the hotel.
Checked in.
My view.
