That`s a question. Probably destiny. I liked from my childhood consumer electronics. Radios, TV`s, tape recorders, videos. Hi-Fi. Like a child we watched those goods in special shops in Prague (in special shops called Tuzex you could buy goods imported from "enemy" West, but you needed special money to buy it) So I could only dreamed about it. Prices were too expensive for me. Also I was wondering, why Japan, country without resources, is able to produce so many fine goods. Ans whole whole Soviet Union can't. When finally in the year 1989 communism in Czechoslovakia collapsed, I started to think about journey to Japan. But! I didn`t know nothing about japanese immigration law, I had no money and no internet connection. So I decided first to study Japanese and then, maybye..... So I bought in Germany Japanese textbooks and due to self-study, my Japanese teacher and watching Japanese satellite TV a miracle happened. After five years, I was able to speak via phone in Japanese. In that time I had some japanese pen-friends and in the year 1997 I made my first three months visit to Japan. But again! I understood, that this short time is not enough to improve my Japanese language. So I decided to study Japanese in Japan.

The Yamasa Institute in Okazaki cityThe school I found on internet is called The Yamasa Institute and from that time is connected with me. First I studied here for 18 months and then I got job here. I`m administering school servers, developing databases and distance learning system and other things. So that`s all for today. See you next time.

I noticed that thing last time when I was in Nagoya. And even Japanese citizens from Tokyo were surprised. There`s nothing like that in Tokyo yet. And Japanese like to be first. Nippon hatsu. That`s in. And now Nagoya is number one, not Tokyo. Coin lockers are located outside in modern area called Oasis 21. The "never seen before" thing is the locking system. After putting luggage in, you enter your mobile phone number. And then, when you want to open the door, all you have to do is call the coin locker number, which is written there. I didn`t test it so I`m not sure but I think that doing that phone call, the coin locker fee is automatically paid.
