Every year Gaiax sends some members to the E3 Electronic Entertainment Exposition to get inspiration for new products and meet potential business partners. This year the lucky ones to go to Los Angeles are Kojima-san and me. Before that, we will visit two companies in San Francisco and nearby Palo Alto to learn about micropayment technology. So tomorrow, I am leaving for a week in California. Together with the Golden Week holidays in Western Japan last weekend and the country-side company camp in Atami the following weekend, this month sure sees a lot of travelling around.
