PauseTalk Tonight

Tonight (December 3) is this month’s edition (Vol. 16) of PauseTalk at Cafe Pause, with the usual start time of 19:30. Things will be back to normal following last month’s special edition — which I admit was more an evening of presentations compared to the regular talk format. Looking forward to it!

Tokyo Taxi Fare Hike

I already felt taxi prices were high in Tokyo, and now this: “Taxi fares were increased Monday in Tokyo and Kanagawa Prefecture. The first price increase since April 1997 raised the flag-down fare for the first 2 kilometers to 710 yen from the current 660 yen.” Via Japan Today.

Tokyo Haiku Contest

Tokyo Art Beat contributed a column to the latest edition of the TIME OUT GUIDE TO TOKYO — it covers galleries in Ginza — and they’ve set up a contest, the prize consisting of a copy of the guide, as well as lunch with the TAB team. To win, you need to write a haiku on your love of Tokyo, and leave it in the comment thread of this TABlog post.

My city of love
You truly are and remain
In my heart always

I’m a big fan of METAPHYS, and was very happy to see so many new products from the brand on display at last month’s 100% Design Tokyo. Dezeen has scored some nice images of all those new items, including the hairdryer you see above.
