If we were in the village with 1000 people...

it would be with

584 Asians
123 Africans
95 Eastern and Western Europeans
84 South Americans
55 Russians (included Lithuanian, Latvian, Estonian, etc.)
52 North Americans
and 6 Australians and New
Zealanders

It is difficult to communicate each other well,

165 speak Chinese
86 speak English
83 speak Hindu and Urdu
64 speak Spanish
58 speak Russian
37 speak Arabic

then, finally, it is mentioned just a half of the languages in the village.

There are more than 200 languages more in order of the number, Bengali, Portuguese, Indonesian, Japanese, German, French etc.

The Olympics or World Cup Games always recall me this ridicule even I knew the reality of "Many things would disappear if we had 100 people in the world".

105 Minutes 21 Seconds

I have to cancel the charity fun-run for an errand on the 6th of June tomorrow.

So I timed using iPhone the speed of me as a trial this morning.

The record for 21.04km was 105 minutes and 21 seconds, five times of outskirts of Kyoto-Goen.

I have to admit that this is the reality even I am not satisfied by the record…

The affinity of Hinaya-Kyoto textile for Haute Couture-Paris

June 4th, it will take a month to visit Paris.

We sent the textile which was ordered from
on aura tout vu for haute couture yesterday.
They must be getting ready for it.

Two atelier designers are supposed to present our textile for next Paris Collection.

I will leave for Paris to attend, also will meet some other designers who are interested in our textile almost every day and night.

The affinity of Hinaya-Kyoto textile for Haute Couture-Paris.

Hope to have more chance for the promotion.

IN ORDER, CLEAN, ORGANIZED

We visited Mitsuboshi Textile Group in Gifu to discuss to process in order our textile today.

We have not had the idea to have additional process after weaving and dyeing to make an added value.
That is why, I think, we might be able to make progress by that for better feelings from the materials.

I met him (the owner) through Twitter, by the way.

He explained us in detail how to process in order, what brings to the textile by that additional process.
I think I learned a lot today.

I hope we can discover something new from them.

p.s.
My brother who visited them with me today mentioned:
“They organized extremely in order and cleanly, we have to follow them”
