Galleria degli Uffizi（ウフィツィ美術館）

My collegue strongly insisted to visit the musium to watch the famouse "The birth of vinus" of Botticelli. It was almost 1 hour waiting in que before enter the musiam. I visited more than 20 times in Florence, but, it was the first time to visit the musium. I did not know the Galleria is located very near Ponte Vecchio. (No photo is allowed in the Galleria.)

Silent Terrorism（サイレントテロリズム）

Why do you think the domestic car sales have been declining? Why do you think Japanese population starts to decline? Some people say young people cannot afford to do or some say young generations have diversity of life style than before... Maybe true, but maybe not. They are struggling to survive to have better life, but, they feel they cannot. And then they are becoming "Silent Terrorists", who don't buy, who don't listen to the attractive TV commercial, and who do think carefully before buy. They finally recognize that they can revenge to the current capitalism without do anything. What do you think?

I remember I had Skyline 2000GTR before

More than 10 years ago, I had Skyline GTR (KPGC10). I spent about 500,000$ in order to keep good condition and for restoration. If I should be rich enough in the future, I would buy back this Skyline again. Because the engine sound is so nice and appearance of engine itself is quite attractive.
