Immediately after I came back to my home last night, I worked on inserting pictures to my travel diary and also on rewriting some paragraphs to improve its pages. And I almost finished the look over of diary by about eight o'clock this morning. If you refer again pages after October 18, I should be very happy.

While I was studying, my scanner which I brought to Mr. Nakamura's laboratory and was set by him to work perfectly became impossible to start. Although it was past midnight, I called for his help to restore it. When I checked the machine following his instruction on phone, it started again to work. Although PCs have been developed everyday, their fast improvements resulted in causes of troubles. The reliability of PC is far behind the automobiles. I am afraid a new government policy for training every Japanese for internet age does not work well becase of poor reliability of machines.

I went to Akihabara for shopping by JR train in afternoon. The exit corridor of station to the electronic products street was so crowded that passenger could not move forward. But the crowd went step by step toward the street. It was really an unusual scenery.

The street was very crowded because it was first Saturday after their pay day. I bought three USB cables (each of them has a length proper for connecting my equipments), a USB adapter and a system soft for making CD, ADAPTEC Easy CD Creator 4 Deluxe. At T-ZONE which is my favorite store in Akihabara, a female sales consultant picked up all there products instantly by running through heavy crowds on the shop floor. I finished my purchase in only 10 minutes including payment although the floor was crowded. I was impressed every employee of this store was well trained.

As I finished the articles of my second trip to Himalaya, I would like to study auto industry as before. I should send many thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Tsuchida for their kind treatment and Mr. Matsuoka for his good scheduling of tour and a wonderful leadership during the tour.
