 It was fine.

I decided to pick up the registered mail at the post office before going to work. I visited some banks too.

On my way to the office, I also visited the Tokyo Regional Immigration Bureau to check the status of applied COE.

I left the office one hour earlier than usual to go to see a concert "Pianomen 2026" at SCG Hall Ariake where I went to for the first time.  There were four pianists playing for 30 minutes each with guests.  I did not know most of them. But I liked their performance, especially improvised medley.  I envy those who can play instruments. I wish I could play any instruments too!

I went there with my friend from the Ability Garden where we learned much business knowledges 23 years ago.

After the concert at the station, I met my friend who invited me to this concert.

 It was fine.

Today was the last day of my 221st e-book campaign.  After all it became No. 1 in the USA and Japan and ranked in in Bazil.

There were many troubles to deal with at office, and I overworked till 8:30 PM or so.

We decided the place for farewell and welcome dinner this Friday. I proposed two places and four of us talked and decided.

On my way back I checked emails and felt like traveling red leaves places by bus tour.

2026.10.5

 It was cloudy and slightly raining.

There were many things I had to deal with today at office.  

There was a meeting in the afternoon.

I overworked till 7:30 PM or so and came home around 9:30 PM.

I have a registered mail which is needed to re-deliver, but it would be impossible to be delivered during weekdays. Now I am thinking to take a few hours off to go to post office to get it before going to office.

I have been looking for a restaurant or izakaya where to have a farewell dinner for my colleague this Friday.  There are two choices, one is the close place, the other offers the favorite foods.  Which should we take?

There was an interesting case about birthday celebration, and I felt like knowing the cultural difference. In some countries, the birthday person throws a party and offers cakes or gifts. In other countries, people around plan a birthday party for the birthday person. How is the custom in your place?  In my case I like to throw a party for birthday person, especially a surprise party.
