So nice to be in Japan again!


My temporary workstation this summer at the Institute of Development Economies (IDE-JETRO), Tokyo:

 
and the vending machine at IDE-JETRO actually has more choices than starbucks. I got a cappuccino and it took exactly 32 seconds to prepare it; well, the only slight downside... it took me about 10 minutes to find out which one to press for cappuccino :)
