A View of Two Cities

Since I have been traveling it doesn’t seem like there has been much time for things Japanese. I missed my Japanese lesson last week so I have been studying on my own again.

Here is a view of Doha from the Ritz Carlton. The Ritz is way out on the edge of town and there isn’t much around it. Doha is a very modern city and the nicest thing about it is the weather. And the weather in the winter is really very nice. Right now it is hot, but I am used to hot, and with air conditioning these days…

This is a view of Paris from the Sofitel, in La Defense. This is a “new” area of Paris, at least for recent development. To be honest, I don’t like these new areas in cities like Paris and London. They don’t have as much character. You could almost be anywhere. Some of the new areas around Japan give me the same feeling.

But we got out one evening and had dinner in a nice place right outside the Opera. Hard to beat that. Take care...
