It's Friday.
- How much time do you spend online each day?
About 3 hours on weekdays. When I'm in home on weekends, lots, quite plenty of time.
- What is your browser homepage set to?
I haven't set up homepage at all. So it's a blank now.
- Do you use any instant messaging programs? If so, which one(s)?
I've never used any IMs. But I'd like to use one.
- Where was your first webpage located?
It was in an internet solution company in Japan. I think it was built 8 years ago(the age of "Mosaic") but I didn't maintain frequently. And now it is in ruins.
- How long have you had your current website?
I've had this one for about 3 years. But only one month has passed since I renewed this site.

- What's the last place you traveled to, outside your own home state/country?
I visited Denmark, Czech, Germany and Iceland in December 2001.
- What's the most bizarre/unusual thing that's ever happened to you while traveling?
A crazy new year's fireworks in Reykjavik, Iceland.
It's common that ordinary people not professional set off large scale of it. That's quite dangerous and far from it, they are so excited that they set off it to all directions. There were not a few times it came to near my feet. And I heard sirens of ambulances. Really crazy. - If you could take off to anywhere, money and time being no object, where would you go?
The Moon.
But in this globe, I'd like to go to Czech again. That's a really wonderful place. - Do you prefer traveling by plane, train or car?
I might be a jet junky. I like atmosphere in airport.
I have one more reason. Because of my work, it's difficult to take long holidays. I'd like to spend my time for my experiences in each destination. Of course I know a pleasure of a travel by train or car, but it takes much time compared with plane. - What's the next place on your list to visit?
I'm going to visit New York to see a concert of bjö
rk and Sigur Rós.
Welcome Back, Malta!
Hello again, Playmobilmalta.com!
I regretted the site have been unavailable recently. But it has just been back with great fun(and cute voices). There are not only basic information news, company profiles, novelties, but also many downloads - desktop pictures and colouring pictures -.
Above all, the most important information is new company premises are being built. And it says the Funpark will be also moving to the new place "Hal Far" by the end of this summer.
I visit the Funpark 3 years ago, but it means that I need to visit Malta again and go through the brand-new Funpark.

- What time do you wake up on weekday mornings?
I usually wake up at 8:30.
- Do you sleep in on the weekends? How late?
No, it is about the same time regardless of weekdays or weekends.
- Aside from waking up, what is the first thing you do in the morning?
Turning on my computer.
- How long does it take to get ready for your day?
If I don’t have tousled hair with sleep, it takes less 10 minutes only. But if I have, I need to wash my hair so 30 minutes or so is needed.
- When possible, what is your favorite place to go for breakfast?
I apologize I don’t have the habit of eating breakfast. But no place is better than home I guess.

- If your life were a movie, what would the title be?
I've never turned such a thought over in my mind, but..
Escape from fetters. - What songs would be on the soundtrack?
A considerable amount of Sigur Rós.
- Would it be a live-action film or animated? Why?
Animation is suitable for this film. Because fetters are not always real people or objects.
- Casting: who would play you, members of your family, friends, etc?
I don't want to feel any reality of my life from this, so professional voice actors/actresses are prefer, not myself and my family, friends themselves.
- Describe the movie preview/trailer.
What you see is not what you see.
Just Revealed Now
I've been tryng to shift my old site to this new one for 2 weeks. It is so equal to see lately that I'd like to open to the public today.
I haven't finished to translate some former articles in English. I'd like to put them gradually, so it is happy for me that you check them frequently.
Finally, It goes without saying that my English is far from perfect. Please tell me if you find serious mistakes. It is really helpful for me.
A Post Card in DDC
I visited DDC(Danish Design Centre) across from the Tivoli Park København, Denmark in the beginning of 2002.
I discovered a Playmobil post card at the museum shop by chance.
There are several familiar figures in a row but it was most surprised that "he" is there. A Maltese grandfather when he was young!. I've never seen this type. He was sold once officially? If it was yes, When?
I don't know this post card is still available in DDC. Please check the official site.
I Miss You, Malta
When I tried to add the link to Playmobil Malta from this site, I noticed the URL "http://www.playmobilmalta.com/" is not available.
I can't find any information about it in playmobil.de or playmobil.com.
What happened in the small island on the Mediterranean?
Apparat Organ Quartet
I've been having an interest in Icelandic music for these several years and then I've been checking it in some web sites periodically.
One day, I found a new band named "Apparat Organ Quartet" has released their debut album. I've never heard the name and their music but I was fascinated with its jacket instantly.
There are 5 members -4 keyboards and 1 drummer- in this band. So I suppose 5 Playmobil figures costomized to their body are in the jacket. I'd like to see their real faces and compare with these figures some day.
Additionally, they also make T-shirts(black and red) using the head(without hair) of Playmobil.

- Do you remember your first best friend? Who was it?
I don't remember clearly.
But I suppose my first best friend was a boy born on the same day as me in the same hospital. - Are you still in touch with this person?
No, not at all.
- Do you have a current close friend?
No, I don't.
I guess there is hardly any person called "friend". - How did you become friends with this person?
-----
- Is there a friend from your past that you wish you were still in contact with? Why?
There isn't any friend basically.
But I want to know the life of the man I mentioned in Q1. I'm interested in an influence about same birthday. Does any relevance exist or not between he and me?
