Everyday Life in Japan - 4. A little bit more than one month since my last article of the "Everyday Life in Japan" serie. So prepare for a big mix of photos! Let's start with some shots taken at Daikanyama. It's a quite fashionable place with many shops and some interesting architecture. I really like the night shots we can do with the Nikon D5000. Do you remember this one, I already took it from an other point of view.
Yep, hair salon have to be fancy too! Let's have a dinner in Yutenji, a very nice and peaceful neighborhood, good to place to live I think, expensive though... What would you choose?

Midori-san, the blogging houseplant, at bowls Donburi Cafe in Kamakura If houseplants could blog, what would they say? To find out, Kamakura-based IT company KAYAC Co., Ltd. has developed a sophisticated botanical interface system that lets plants post their thoughts online. A succulent Sweetheart Hoya (Hoya kerii) named "Midori-san" is now using the system to blog daily from its home at bowls Donburi Cafe in Kamakura. The plant interface system, which is built around technology developed by Satoshi Kuribayashi at the Keio University Hiroya Tanaka Laboratory, uses surface potential sensors to read the weak bioelectric current flowing across the surface of the leaves.
This natural current fluctuates in response to changes in the immediate environment, such as temperature, humidity, vibration, electromagnetic waves and nearby human activity.
