Ann Arbor Fall Colors September 30, 2012

Near our condo, the trees explode in beautiful colors. マンションの近くに美しい木々は火のような色が落ちる.

Weekend Sunrise, Jinqiao

A beautiful Shanghai sunrise greets us at 5:35 AM. 

午前５時半に、きれいな上海の日の出が来ました。

      Two weeks ago today, Martin completed his first full length triathlon, at Murakami, Japan, then came here to Shanghai.  Barely had he arrived, and he was off to Beijing, and more, doing interesting work with batteries and automotive electrification.  He did spend a good bit of time here, which went by too fast, and this morning he flew away again, back to Michigan.  

今日には、二週間前に、マーティンは最初のトライアサロンを終わったので、村上の日本にで、上海と言うここに来ました。直ちに、ずっとにペキンに行ったので、面白い仕事は車の電池についてプロジェクトをしています。一緒にの時間は全然十分だから、今朝も飛行機に乗って、ミシガン州に途中に行きました。

Yesterday, Martin tried to post this photo, but I've been having all sorts of trouble with this website, and it wasn't behaving properly.  Now I think I've fixed it, so that everyone can enjoy an unusually pretty Shanghai sunset.  You may notice that I have inserted Facebook "Like" buttons on the individual posts, as well as a "LIKE" button on the sideboard, which should give you new postings in your newsfeed.  Go ahead, try it!

昨日マーティンは上の写真を撮ったので、ここに載せてみていたが、最近私はたくさんのインターネットの問題があったから、無理です。よく努力をしたから、たぶん直しました。全部のポーストはＦＢのライクのボットンを着いたので、本のブローグもライクのボットンがあります。そうすると、好きだったら、やってみてください。

Travel in China September 2012

Very interesting　work in China last week. We traveled from Shanghai to Hangzhou on a high-speed　train named "Harmony" 和谐.

先週に中国で面白い仕事でした。上海から杭州まで電車”Harmony”でいきました。

Later, we flew　to Beijing.  The CCTV building is very　cool.  Too bad the air is so darn polluted.

あとで、飛行機で北京へ行きました。CCTVビルを大好きだけど、空気はすごく汚染されている。。。大変です。

Seoul September 2012

Ah...back to Seoul from Daejeon via KTX.  Excellent and interesting work - extremely technical and esoteric.  Nice to see Namsan in the evening.

Nashville Wedding - Doug & Kat

It has been two weeks already, but seems like yesterday - an excellent event in Nashville!

A beautiful venue on Cannery Row.

Shakin' and groovin'

Great friends for life!

Shanghai Saturday, September 1, 2012

Fun in Shanghai with Pamela.  Lots to see and do.  The bike shop in the neighborhood is well-equipped.

It was very crowded at the riverside.  Maybe the reason was the beautiful weather.

The Pudong skyline is changing constantly...amazing!

Colorful, beautiful, dazzling, enchanted Tokyo, looking toward Shinjuku from Roppongi Midtown.

Just a few days in Tokyo, but so nice to be here.  And SOOO Great to eat excellent sushi again!  2 AM, first night here, Roppongi.  短い時間に東京に泊まってが、とてもうれしい！そうすると、おいしい寿司を食べることはすごい！最初の夜に、2時午前に、六本木の寿司屋。

Looking at our old neighborhood from the hotel.  ホテルの窓から、前の近所です。

Ann Arbor - Frisbee in the park

Sunny skies and a shiny new disc in the park near our place make for a fun time!

Ellis Guo from Tokyo joined the fun.

Fun family time!

Cool down time...
