My best Italian restaurant in Tokyo: La Bicocca

2010 Jul - 6 |

Category: Tokyo

This is the only place in Tokyo where I felt as eating at home. The taste, the ambient, everything is just original and genuine. The restaurant’s name is “La Bicocca” but what makes it special is Peppe. He is a professional pizzaiolo (pizza maker) from Napoli. He takes care of everything, even if his specialty is pizza, the whole menu is just a never-to-forget experience.

Social Media Day – Tokyo – 2010

2010 Jul - 2 |

Category: Events, Internet

Some pictures of the Social Media Day organized at Tokyo on June 30th. At the same time, in many other cities in the world, social media enthusiasts celebrated the upcoming changes that will transform the way we live.
That day represents the continue movement and desire of people to communicate, get in contact, and specially to be free to share information and ideas. It was a long journey, not ended yet, which started from the paintings in primitive carves, moved to the creation of characters, rules of grammar, books, printing machines, radio, tv and now internet. A long journey, better understood as a long war against the powers that always tried to control, silence, stop and put humanity back to darkness. Those powers will never succeed and the prove is here, just right now, that I’m writing whatever I want and you are free to read it or close this page.
Twitter, Facebook, Buzz, Flickr, and many others are just the beginning. Let’s participate in this changes, let’s be protagonists of the causes that will lead the effects for a better environment of free and open communication.

I found this in the way back home from my office just a couple of days ago. The lady that own this shop is trying to save the rain water by putting it in that watering can. Later she will use it for her shop’s plants.

Any flies in Tokyo?

2009 Mar - 11 |

Category: Japan

It’s been about 3 years that I’m living in Tokyo and I still haven’t seen a single fly!

I know this may sound a little bit crazy, but I just wonder why.

Flies are everywhere, even in clean sites they always exist with the only purpose to annoy humans.
Tokyo is a really clean city but that doesn’t mean that dirty zones do not exist. I found places with trash on the street and many other organic dirty things but mysteriously, no flies around…

What about you? Is there some Tokyoite that could confirm me the same?
