This morning it was raining in Hakone but it was not so hard as last night. After I went to a barber, I left for Tokyo at about eleven o'clock. The driving on Tomei Super Express Highway suffered from fogs and rains. I took a lunch at Nakai Service Area. I enjoyed a good and efficient service at a fast food counter in this service area. I think it is one of the best places to take lunches fast. The area is very compact and efficient, comparing with big service area with restaurants.
I called the Ｏｌｙｍｐｕｓ Service Counter and confirmed that the repair of my camera was finished (This is the first call from my car. The hand free phone worked well.) I told them I would drop in the counter on my way home to pick it up. I could come back to Tokyo Toll Gate smoothly, but immediately after I entered the Tokyo Metropolis Highway, the flow of traffic stopped for about thirty minutes. Then the traffic continued to stop and go repeatedly. It took one hour and a half from Yoga to Kasumigaseki. I was caught in big congestions for two consecutive days.
The ill-connection of batteries to the machine was the cause of troubles, The contact points of camera to batteries were replaced by a new one, I thought heavy sand storms in Nepal might have caused the troubles. I learned and confirmed how to operate and adjust camera from the consultant. The repair costed me 8,499 yen.
The street inside Metropolis were crowded too. It took more than thirty minutes from Sengakuji cross to my home. The distance is only 500 meters. I have been driving around here for many years, but I have never experienced such a congestion in the vicinity of my home.
Immediately after I came back to my home, I checked two sets of Vaio and found that they have been improved but still they lacked to have enough resources. I cannot start to write drafts of my my new articles with these computers, especially for writing long chapters.,
During a day, I changed my pass words of rosenet to new ones. I called Wall Streets Journal in New York to improve the sign-in process. Thus I made efforts to improve enviromets for using my computers.
