My new IDA co-worker

I realize I don't speak often about my company.
But Today Saturday was the little ceremony about the new employee coming in our company.
In Osaka we hired a really interesting girl.
She claim that she change clothe style everyday and also I spot her mobile strap decoration, quiet impressive I have to say !
Her strap decoration is actually bigger than her phone, guess what it is ? See picture below.
Enjoy !

Car elevator garage

I have to say that one thing that is really amazing in Japan is the fact that you always have parking everywhere, and that is thanks to the car elevator garage. I always wanted to know how it works inside and if it's complicate. but from this week in front of my office they start to build one. and it looks really nice they should leave it open to show people how it works of maybe just do the wall transparent.
Anyway I took some pictures of it, if only they could adapt this system in Europe the street will be better.
Enjoy !

Getting my driver's licence renewed in Osaka

It's really hard to believe but it is possible to get your driver's license on Sunday, the only problem is that you are not the only one who can't take off during the week to go get it. so every week about 3000 people come to get their driver's license renewed in Osaka in the main center. it takes about 5 hours to get it.

First you have to do the line up for about 2h to pay it.
Then you have to proceed to the vision test, the picture and paperworks another hour.
And the final and really boring part, the final presentation with an agent of the JAF (Japan Auto Federation) that explain and show you how dangerous is the road and how be careful you have to be on the road 2 freakin' hours.
and then finally you get your new license.

But of course that is if you are lucky and you arrive at 8h30 on Sunday morning.
What a lovely way to spend your Sunday.

I could just take some pictures from the line up to the cashier, about 2h line up.
Enjoy Japan.

Dove and the reality

As you know I work in design industry and I have to say that what you see is not always the reality, especially in fashion or cosmetics industry.
These video clip from Dove are really showing what's going on behind the scene of those beautiful poster with all those perfect men and women.

  
Also the other campaign that tell you to make sure that your child does understand that the perfection in poster is not really the perfection in reality.
Raise well your child before other does.

 

 Enjoy and be aware.

When I'll be a man I'll build a real house

We have seen many people doing amazing structures with Lego, but this time a toy fanatic from the UK James May (who has his own TV show), built a real house from Legos.

 This two-story Lego palace, which resides in the middle of a vineyard, sports a working bathroom, and is covered inside and out with bricks pieced together by 272 Legos. Over three million bricks were used to build the Lego pad, so doing some quick math here — that's over 816 million Lego pieces! Sheesh. I wonder what they'll do with the Legos once James moves out?

  
Enjoy the pictures.

I say yes

Everybody knows how much the pope like the condom idea.
The Church always preferred people to get sick and die than really accept the fact that the world and people changes.
I also like what the African archbishop believe that the condom can do :

 Anyway, wear it till you find the right one !
Safe sex !
