La Jolla

 For those of you who don't know, I attended (a year) of Grad School at UC San Diego. It was in a program called Master of Pacific International Affairs.

I studied Japanese Language and Business. It was 1989, and Japan, not China, was seen as the US's biggest competitor. My idea was to understand Japanese business and then get a job in Europe, where they also saw Japan as a competitor. I had an interview with Arthur Anderson (pre-divestment), which went well, but they told me no matter where I worked, I would be focused on the Japanese region. Which wasn't really my intention.

Instead, my manager at Xerox got me a summer position in the UK at Rank Xerox.

However, that is somewhat beside the point. Here are pictures from La Jolla and my favorite small, off-the-beaten-track beach, Windansea Beach. Compare this to Seal Cove Beach, just up the road, which everyone is familiar with and is often crowded with tourists. I lived in South La Jolla, and this was my happy place. I took Eddie, and he loved it too.

La Jolla Cove / Child's Beach. Now closed because tourists screwed with the Sea Lions that come up at night. The Sea Lions are on the rocks.

Capybara Cafe

 In Tokyo there are very few pets.  Landlords don’t like them. But people miss the petting.  So they have cafes where you can spend sometime...
