Kang and me sabo’d school today, went to Tokyo instead, main goal being the stock exchange marketplace. It was kind of different than what we both expected—there’s this common image of the stock market, as the brokers running around, shouting, waving with papers towards each other and stuff. Well, no more, at least not here… Just as video killed the radio star, computers killed the good old stock market. Thanks to the cloud (Binh’s topic for presentation, by the way, really can’t wait to hear the whole thing), everyone can handle this kind of operations from anywhere, in case of billionaires from their huge bed with a laptop, and a girl on each side.

We also checked a huge bookstore, with a whole floor of foreign books. I almost bought myself a book, seriously considered Vanity fair, but then i realised that i have loads of books here anyway that are all waiting to be read, and that Vanity fair might not be the easiest and lightly entertaining literature that i was looking for… Also, i have manga, Twilight and a german translation of Sherlock Homes novels for easy reading and Finnegans Wake, Nietzshe and the Bible for deeper times…

And once instead of “remembered” i managed to say “覚え‘d” (oboed), same meaning, just… somehow not in the right language.
