 The
reason that I travelled to Yokohama is to attend the Cool
Chips conference (International Symposium in Low-power
and High-Performance circuit design).
This time, I had to present in
the final day again (similar to the ICCD conference last
year). This time, the presentation went without any parallel
sessions (e.g. in the main conference).
I've got to know a number of nice
people. Especailly, some of Cambridge alumni, people from
UK and the organiser team.

Yokohama
is a huge modern city (the second largest in Japan). It
is located only 30 minutes by train from Tokyo. This city
used to be a small fishman village but has grown due to
an influence of international cultures once it was selected
to be the first international port of Japan. Nowsaday, it
is a business city with high cost of leaving, beautiful
ports, famous basketball club and has the highest building
in Japan (Landmark).

What
I felt amaze about Japan's technology is the toilet system
which has various control unit such as a music!

Luckily,
April is one of the most beautiful time to visit Japan. This is
because of all the Cherry blossom and Tulip that enrich everything.

 There
is two distinct area in Yokohama that I like. Once is the
hugest Chinatown which cover around one forth of the city
centre. The other is Noge area which preserves old tradition,
shop and Japanese culture.

Sankei
garden is one of the most beutiful park in Japan. It is famous
for the old three stories pagonda and a number of preserved
traditional Japanese houses.
