Tokyo’s radiation level

Posted by xinquan – April 8, 2011

This is the best chart I have found so far from the NHK website

I was outside when on 15th when the peak happens :(
by looking at the chart.. it’s definitely getting better. This radiation accident seems like a bit overblown. It was quite scary on 15th when the spark happened. I could not image how much radioactive stuff was leaked near the plant.

Although the current radiative level in Tokyo is not too worried, Tokyo Electric has poorly handled this accident, that cause hundreds of thousands gaijin flee away the country. It’s time for the Japanese government to review this company.

I surivived in the 5th biggest earthquake in history

Posted by xinquan – March 11, 2011

I am still alive. Thank god. I thought I would be buried in the office today.

All the train are stopped and I am walking home now. Everyone is walking. all cars on the road stuck in the traffic jam. Don’t know what is the impact on the north Japan, where is much more close to the epicenter ..

Since came to japan. except the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, this is another big shock I am *lucky* enough to experience.

Moving out Of Ebisu

Posted by xinquan – November 21, 2010

Having been living in Ebisu for almost 3 years.. it’s a really nice area with lots of restaurants, bars, cafes, I really loved it. but it’s just a bit too expensive if you want to move to a bigger house in ebisu. So I decide to move to yoyogi-uehara, a bit cheaper with a bigger apartment.

Chinese Spring Festival Coming Soon

Posted by xinquan – January 28, 2008

Chinese New Year, also called Chinese Spring Festival (春节) used to be the happiest holidays for me just like the Christmas season for western people. People gather together with their friends and family and I can reunion with my nephew and playmates and we can “play” together and get the “Red packets” from my parents and grandparents and don’t have to get up early and go to school. It used to be such a good holiday that I was always look forward to.

while this sort of feeling fades and I could not find much happiness as used to. Perhaps it is a festival for kids as my mother told me.

Go to the Apple’s Armes

Posted by xinquan – November 17, 2007

Apple? Macbook? Mac OS X? used to be so far away from my life, nonetheless I just fall in love with the Mac OS and bought my Macbook soon after get my credit card in Japan and regretted not knowing apple sooner before. Windows OS becomes more and more awkward to me after I switch to Mac OS.

Apply A Credit Card in Japan

Posted by xinquan – October 25, 2007

Japan is a country where somehow national discrimination happens every now and then. Let’s say that foreigners applying credit card in Japan would be a good example. Most of the credit card companies reject your application basically because of you are foreigner here regardless of your job, income, profile or whatsoever.

The O.C.

Posted by xinquan – May 19, 2007

I get addicted to the American drama television series the O.C.(The orange city) these days. Iit was past-popularity show(start from 2003) though. I just run into it from a HMV shop in which the DVD version of season 1 is selling off. I need to admit. I’m always slow for the new things, at least, for the past years. When something new stuffs come out and draw the majority crazy, I usually skip it over. while the time when most people get tied of it, I’m incline to be fond of it. That’s a big problem of me…

A fragment of old memory

Posted by xinquan – December 18, 2006

I’m thinking of this for a long time and finally decided to share this video which is made by me. Whilst I review this video, I always feel that it just like all these things are happened yesterday. I have not seen the most of the people in this video for a quite a long time and I know I may never meet some of them again in my life. So I just share this video, and hopefully they could see it as a good recipe of bad mood. I hope you may also lift the corner of your mouth while you’re watching this video, my dear friends.
