Issey Miyake
Yes, I got invited to Issey Miyake's fashion show
These are the videos of the opening and closing of the show. The in-between video is the part I loved the most in the show when the yellow tubes made the most significant movements. I really don't want to use too many words here, words sometimes ruin the natural beauty of an object, especially when the object is too beautiful for words...
Amandine, with her "Staff" tag, and I were there!!! We were there!!! Meow!
After the show, it was fun to walk in the white catwalk carpet with lights shining on you from everywhere. I felt like a super star.
And it was fun to know that Kanye West was there, just right behind me BUT I couldn't see him!!!

Voilà! C'est mon petit apartment!
Ok, let us start with my room first... Eve said it is very Parisen. If you look at the mirror, the fire place, the huge door leading to the small balcony,... it has always been like that for years. My neighborhood, according to what my landlord said, was built right after the Napoleon War. People from the war came to this area and they combined the architecture of France and other countries they've been to.
Here are a few more pictures... I don't have much in my room but I feel pretty comfortable. Can't complain anything at all since I have such a nice bed and a nice relaxing chair!
I miss my mother's cooking so much!!!
I miss family dinners, too!!!
But for family dinner, Motohiko will make it up for me this December, hihi, ne!
A bit off topic but... it feels so "natsukashii", sometimes I feel like I'm in Vietnam! The phones here have the same ringtones as they do in Vietnam.
People cross the streets for red lights (yes, red, not green), just like they do in Vietnam. There are so many things in common! It might sound weird but I feel like Vietnam is closer to France than to Japan.
Just so you know in Asia, each country is different. We're not all from China.![]()
Okay, back to my apartment... this window here, its lock, its white paint, its glass,... my grandfather's house used to have these kinds of windows. It's amazing to know that Vietnam has so many exterior and interior designs in common with France. The famous highschool near my apartment has an outlook that reminds me of some building in the center area of Saigon.

The Second Best Nouille Ever
Amandine!!!
Okay, and here are our happy family pictures. Amandine and I, well... We are from now on officially together because I met and had dinner with her parents.
I miss Eve so much whenever I eat cheese, jambon or baguette. She was my first French cuisine teacher. I'm not going to put up any pictures of the fromage because it would be a seperate blog, for only FROMAGES. Yum! And, maybe you don't know why this picture is important, but it has a very special meaning. Ne, Mochi...
Oh, by the way, it's Rugby season, je suis en mode rugby. Salut!!!

ISC
This is my school in Paris, everyone!!!
One building where you have only one logo of the school is for all of the student associations and some offices. The cafeteria is the colorful space you see below. Then the other building where you have a huge poster along the glasses is for classes and some offices. The internet room (my Internet heaven everyday) is also in this building. The library has a modest size but the librarian helped me find many other free and resource-rich libraries in Paris. The finance book is my first book in ISC!
