U2 in Tokyo

Last November 30th, I had the opportunity to go to the U2 Vertigo tour concert in Tokyo at the Saitama Super Arena, a spectacular event, where I enjoyed a lot of the famous songs of this famous Irish band and also some new ones. I can said that was one of the best concerts I have been in my life.

Well, everything was really good, so I give you the proof of that here, I uploaded some of the pictures that I took, [you can see the full gallery here] or look some of the example pictures:

Also I took some really nice videos so you can watch it in youtube.com [here in my channel] or follow the links for each video:

Soshigaya Art Festival 2006

November 12, 2006, one more year in the International Student House, the Soshigaya Art Festival took place. A lot of fun, food, music, dances, everything in one single place from all around the world. A extraordinary experience where in one day we can forget our cultural, traditional and religion differences and everyone was part of the same family, the international family!

At the beginning we start with the food stalls, where we taste different food from around the world; to continue with a lot of art exhibitions, principally Japaneses ones, like ikebana, shudo, karate and other from around the world like capoeira; at the end we enjoy a wonderful and well organized festival with dances and presentations showing some traditional and cultural dances from countries far away or as close as Japan.

I uploaded some wonderful pictures from the Festival, you can see the full gallery here:

And also I uploaded the video from the festival, is the Directors Cut so is edited with the best of this wonderful event. I hope you enjoyed [you can also follow this link here]:

Navidad @ Tokyo!

La navidad en una de las ciudades mas cosmopolitas, consumistas y mas grandes del mundo. Ni que decir, lleno de luz, color, diversión, regalos y sobre todo muchos muchos japonesitos comprando miles de cosas y atiborrando cada espacio de los centros comerciales.

Pero en Japón? Para los japoneses, la Navidad no tiene el significado religioso que para nosotros tiene, más bien es un simbolo de compras, regalos y sobre todo la navidad se pasa normalmete con el novio o la novia, asi que tambien es un simbolo de romanticisimo. Pues hasta ahí todo tiene sentido, muchos hemos celebrado la navidad con alguno de estos propositos, pero todo cambia cuando uno esta acostumbrado a la Navidad con los colores rojos y verdes, pero en Japón, la navidad se representa con azules y blancos; se come un pastel de frutillas y en mi opinión personal no se siente ese espiritu navideño en cada parte, aunque mucha gente vista de Santa o todo está decorado con motivo navideño, obviamente el ambiente no es igual que estar en la casa, cerca de la familia y amigos, envuelto de regalos, arboles de navidad, posadas, fiestas, reuniones, etc. etc.; o será simplemente mi perspectiva y el echo de que es mi primera Navidad fuera de casa??
