The yellowish ginkgo leaves and the reddish maple leaves make the perfect autumn. The shuttle sounds of Japanese DSLR cameras overshadow the melody of the autumn wind under the ichou tree. It was spring with sakura, and it is autumn with ginkgo and maple, everything comes before you realize it and vanishes before you know it. It is the change of the season again. It is the end of the yellow and red of 2012. Here, the white comes, the snowboarding and skiing shops are being decorated insanely. On weekend, roads are often closed for marathon events. Japanese love running. I love running. Here comes the winter, a season of run, a season of snowboard and ski. Nothing could compare to my passion for sports. Autumn and winter are just perfect, like what Apple has claimed: the iPad mini is just perfect. Good thing doesn't last. For this land of the rising sun, 2012 is just perfect. The land is especially calm, disturbing high energy earthquakes did not happen. Typhoons were not coming. It was just too calm with nothing. Thanks to this, the country is able to concentrate on disasters reconstruction efforts. Broken pieces from the tsunami are still being transported to each prefecture to be burned. The country may not have the luxury of being a major player in consumer electronics anymore, but efforts on future new energies are taken very seriously. Much efforts have been paid to discover new type of energy. The fusion maybe the answer. The space solar system and the wireless power transmission maybe another. However, electrics energy alone is not perfect. Magnetism maybe a major player in the future. With the superconductive maglev shinkansen is set to be launched in 15 years time. For now, nothing is more important than "energy" in this country.
Walking into a drug store in japan, it is immediately become clear how important bio-medical sciences is here. The survival of a country lies in her ability to maintain the health of her citizens. The efforts put by japanese medical companies are just awesome. High energy physics is playing a small role in this medical world. The unbelievable PET scanner with the use of antimatter positrons is one of the example why the research of sub-atomic particles at CERN etc will not be a complete waste of money. The tale of the three brothers, appeared in Harry Potter and the deathly hallows book 2, is one of my favorite. I finished reading the last book in 2 days. i'm hoping to read the book again. Some english reading is just nice to maintain globalization mindset while working here.
