On the Way to Tokyo

Taking the first business trip to Tokyo with C. a partner and friend; it seems like we have a never ending story, or to some extend, a 1001 night fairy, we can share almost everything in life, even in a very private manner.

Ma - her husband see him off at the airport, with the previliage of a jourlist, he can access to the airport with a pass, before the gate, he hug and kiss his wife - somewhat I feel a little bit rigid, so the topic of her married life become a topic accompany to our first day of trip; on the airplane, we miss the chace of watching in-flight entertainment - movie, but to talk anything and share her married life, the answer is C. walked out of the box of marriage, and her soul and body grows so huge that make her hard to trun back and fit the box of marriage. this is a very painful development, as her husband didn't know " What went wrong ", a potential devoice without any tangebile reason is hard for him, for a man who live in a normal life to explain it to his circle of friend and relatives; I respect C.'s value in dealing with anything in a Human point of view, so every thing - even in an emotional topic should eqip with a exit system, a way to get out of the cage which make an indivisual feel uncomfortable. we talked and talked and checking in the APA by 9:20 pm, an hour earlier than my expectation. taking the Narita Express to Tokyo station and change the Metro Red line to Akasaka station, she remembered where we live before pointed out the Hotel we stayed last summer when consulting for the Ilha Formosa Music Festival, no wonder last night when stayed in APA Villa, I can sense the similariyt of Starbucks and the printing service, but can't link it with my memories. so we are staying at the Hotle she dream of before - especially when seeing the cafe' on the first floor.

Having Laman for the dinner and continue the same topic of marriage at one of the unique coffee house at nearby block, a very good place for great coffee - an expensive one but a quality place to share a lot of thing. wife called in the middle of the conversation and asked my permitsion to rent an apartment for the weekend , this is for the sake of Fruit, our daugher who we put her at her grandmother's house for the weekend, but it seems there's no good sign of changing her behavior, so, my wife decided to take back her responsibilty as a mother and learn how to love a girl like Fruit, I have no idea whether this is a good approach or not, but as she insited, I will not stop her immediately. I do hope the change of space can bring some flesh air to our family.

First night at Tokyo, takling only Chinese, I didn't feel like I am in Tokyo now. We've been talking too much on the road.
