Celebrities -NY


Today before we went to watch a musical we had dinner at a Pizza restaurant nearby the hall. The restaurant was crowded. We thought that they must serve good pizza at the restaurant. After we opened the door we noticed that a lot of people were surrounding an area in the restaurant. No one is line for buying at the counter. We got our dish, and then we sat at a table which was beside the crowd.

We watched the crowd as we had pizza and salad. Most people had cameras. They pointed to the same direction. In the center of the crowd a group of people were having dinner. The body guards were standing beside the group.

I recognized a woman from the group. Her name is Sarah Palin. When my friend and I were talking about her, a TV crew came up to us. The interviewer asked me about the man in the center of the crowd, but I didn't recognize him. I said that I recognized the woman. After my interview, the TV crew went to other customers.

That night we saw the TV interviewer on a TV program. Unfortunately my interview was cut off.

Tacobell-NY


Today I arrived at NY with my friend. We went to "Taco bell". I ate burrito at the restaurant 10 years ago in LA. I liked it. Since then I have wanted to go again. Finally I was able to go and eat their burrito. It tasted very good, same as before.
I hope the restaurant will come to Japan.

Fish market

Last Thursday I had a photo shoot. I went to a fish market. The opening time of the fish market is very early. There are a lot of shops in the fish market. The staffs from the shops they start working from 12 am. They open the shutters of their shops and prepare until 4 o'clock. Around the same time a lot of fish from many ports arrive at the market. The owners of the shops choose some fish for them to sell on that day. The bidding of tunas start around 5:30. They bid using special languages and signs. I couldn't understand them at all. The bidding process was too fast, I didn't know when the tunas were being sold. From 6 am to10 pm, regular customers and owners of restaurants, bars and sushi restaurants visit these shops. The time during 6 to 8 am is the most busy time. Shop staffs are high-spirited. Shops close at 10 am.

About New York


There are a lot of book stores in New York. Last year an interesting book store opened there. They mainly sell design and fashion books. These books are selected by a famous designer, Marc Jacobs. The name of the book store is "Book Marc".
I like the concept of this book store. When I go to a book store. I know what I want to get, but it is usually difficult to find the book I want. In most book stores, there are a lot of books, but there are only a few from each category. If book stores have a specific concept, and limit their categories, it is easier to find the right books.
