Tweetup Japan 2010

Some pictures of the Tweetup Japan 2010.
For those that doesn’t know what is a tweetup, it’s just a meeting of twitter enthusiasts. In this case, the CEO @ev was also there as a special guest.
Two years ago, the “Tweetup Japan” was about 40 people and now more than 500 people were there.
That shows how twitter is growing fast in Japan, but to be honest, nobody really knows why!
That’s the magic of this country. You can have a great success or a terrible failure and there are few elements to understand why. Only people that are living here for a long long time can help to answer the question “why”. But even them don’t really 100% know. In Japan you have to be able to survive in your business with estimations. If you are good at that, you will survive and be successful. Sometimes I hate it, but definitively at the end I love this country, it’s so special! :)

My best Italian restaurant in Tokyo: La Bicocca

This is the only place in Tokyo where I felt as eating at home. The taste, the ambient, everything is just original and genuine. The restaurant’s name is “La Bicocca” but what makes it special is Peppe. He is a professional pizzaiolo (pizza maker) from Napoli. He takes care of everything, even if his specialty is pizza, the whole menu is just a never-to-forget experience.

Telephone: 03-3410-7700
