これは本当本当最後の8月日本のブルグよ！ごめん５週後ですけど。。。
Window shopping is also very interesting in Japan:
Some really cool toys... but i alway...Read more
This week is getting quite busy, we had 5 people stop by the office yesterday... after making a trip to the dive shop to replace the glove I lost last weekend while diving (and grab dinner), I went back to work for a few more hours and studied the wonderful world of web databases.
But in lieu of taking the time to do a real blog (a few in the queue, don't worry), here's a humorous diversion:
Misheard Lyrics version of Pearl Jam's Yellow Ledbetter...

You guys probably don't realize, but occasionally I have trouble keeping up with stuff and I miss a blog or two... or to put it another way, sometimes there are pictures which I never get around to uploading and blogging about. ;-)
実は先月の日本の旅行のブログ書いて終わりません。前部ここです：

I flew back from Singapore early Saturday morning, it was 10:45am by the time I got on Airport Express. Once I got home I grabbed my scuba gear and headed out to Saikung(西貢). We had another scuba trip lined up!
Same boat as the previous trips. The important thing ...Read more
Ok, the last of my pictures from Singapore!
After the Night Safarimy former labmate Corrie and I went back to her hotel downtown. Let me spend a second to explain about the hotel situation.
I had booked a cheap budget hotel through the internet a few weeks ago, but as i found out a day before flying over, it was in a bad neighborhood. Singapore is one of the safest areas in the world, but it wasn't bad as in robbery... it was bad as in...Read more
Thursday night we had a fancy banquet for our conference:
木曜日晩会議の宴会した：
Open Bar! 飲み放題！
They had a variety of performers lined up, in this case two guys on stilts. 宴会でたくさん出演者が居た。
Friday afternoon I gave my talk (with a pretty good reception, I was impressed with the turnout, especially considering it was the last session of the last day!)
That night they had a ' Night Safari' Trip that was included in the cost of the conference, dinner was included too apparently (between the banquets and what not, you DID get a lot for your money compared to most conferences).

The conference I am at is pretty expensive as far as these things go, registration is US$500 per person, luckily for me I was able to get the university to pay for it before my contract ended. Some conferences are this expensive or more, but don't include any food, fortunately this one is quite decent as far as meals go...
This was our lunch on Thursday. It was a fixed menu, the other days they h...Read more
I've got a good # of pics to post, but I'll write up a good blog about them tonight (if I finish my presentation!)
Here's a quick pic I snapped in the airport of my Immigration form... they have this nice warning on the back:
Even worse than the canings!
According to the wikitravel article I read, they can get you for drug possession even if you just have drugs in your system...Read more
Here's the view from the Hotel that our conference is in... as its US$200+ a night I chose to search for more reasonable accommodations, but my former labmate managed to get a room on the 52nd floor. quite good:
