Embassy of Japan in Delhi !

 

by Kazu

We visited Embassy of Japan in India to be given briefing on the current situation of India and its relationship with Japan and other countries in the world scene. Their advice was so helpful for us Hokkaido businesses .

On the premises of Embassy of Japan in Delhi, India, we saw the sun rising over the huge city of chaos in a sense. I was so surprised to see a family living on the greenbelt in the road.But it was only the beginning of our curious business jaunt. 

Poolside Party in Hotel Hyatt Centric !

 

by Kazu

We stayed in Hyatt Centric Delhi Janakpuri in front of the train station. Palm trees were beside the street in front of the hotel. The street in front of the hotel was so crowded with bike taxis and automobiles. 

It has a gym and a swimming pool on the fourth floor. On the day of our arrival, a party was thrown beside the swimming pool and so many guests dressed up so nicely with local traditional attires. Of course, we did not join the party but I had to do my exercise on the treadmill in the gym facing the venue of the party.     

I was the only one person running on the treadmill being seen by the guests drinking. In a sense, I might be an attraction for the guests.Jogging around the hotel seemed to be so stressful in the traffic jam.

This is the hall beside elevator in the hotel we stayed. A peacock was drawn on the wall of the hall and the silhouette of other kinds of birds were painted with brown color. 

We took the bus we hired and headed to the hotel we would stay but we did not expect over one hour to reach the hotel in downtown.

The airport was covered with fog and the mysterious atmosphere drifted around the airport. It was my first visit to India. My friend was waiting for me and the souvenirs from Hokkaido. I was so excited to expecting our first meeting in this ten years. 

Arrived in Delhi !

by Kazu

I visited Delhi, India as a business jaunt last January. The first impression on India was "Chaos". So many people were waiting for tour-conductors and automobile that would take them to the accommodations. 

It was not hot in Delhi in January. It was rather comfortable in the evening. As a traffic jam was expected, we hurried up and were led to the bus pool. Approximately ten hour flight from Haneda, Tokyo International Airport. 

The Custom was not so strict but it took over an hour to go through passport control. India is still growing and swelling after the end of the pandemic of covid-19. BRICS +alpha are making their kingdom in order to reduce the interference of developed countries. 

 

The Former Dormitory of Hokkaido University !

by Kazu

The old building of the dormitory for the students of Hokkaido University was brought into existence again in this historical park of Hokkaido Pioneering. The name of the dorm. was "Keiteki Ryou".

 Even now, the new building of Keiteki Ryou accommodates many students on the premises of the university. The administrators of the dorm. worked in such office decades ago.

This is the model of the dorm. It must have been so cold in winter. The current dorm. in service is located on the northern west end of the premises of the university.  The students wore such attire every day. 

 

The Old Barn like that in North America !

by Kazu 

This is the old cattle house and barn that had been used in Hokkaido until decades ago. Dairy foods were produced mainly in Yukijitushi Company in Hokkaido.

Running a ranch had to be so tough and time-consuming but some kinds of subsidies were provided to the ranch owners and the efficient system were established.

Particularly when the calves were born, the cattle raisers had to be with the cows around the clock. In very cold winters, it must have been so tough for the cattle raisers and cows.
