On most of the business trips, I tend to ‘window-shop’ and ‘sight-see’ from a moving vehicle between the office and the hotel. The routine and simplicity do not bother me. It is still going to work except in a different currency. When I am done soaking up the quiet, I like to venture into the …

Quickly by Hotel Nikko Kansai
It was my first time in Hotel Nikko Kansai. Minutes after you clear the Kansai immigration, you will arrive at this simple facility that stays true to the status as an airport hotel.

Seasonal flu greeting
It is always a joyful moment when the plane touches down safely. I enjoy seeing the spoilers flapping about.
