Hello from a deep crispy autumn GOOD MORNING in Tokyo !

One of the 'must' is the State Museum of Oswiecim-Brezinka (AUSCHWITZ-
BIRKENAU). I visited there for an one full day three years ago during a
mission to the National Krakow Museum from the Edo-Tokyo Museum. Oswiecim-
Brezinka is not far from Krakow. I guess it took us about an hour by car. A
friend of mine teaching Japanese at the Jaigiellonskeigo Uniwersytetu
arranged a car driven by his colleague for us.

If you are a fan of Steve Spielberg, perhaps you may be interested in
visiting one of the places in Krakow where he took some scenes for
his 'Schindler's List'. One of the places is actually where the Jewish
Ghetto was existed then during the WW2.

Finally, are you a fan of the named Japanese architect ISOZAKI Arata?
It may sound strange for you, asking this sort of thing. Whatever, one of
Isozaki's best work is actually found in Krakow. That is the Japanese
Collection of the National Krakow Museum. It stands beside the river in the
centre.

Have a nice stay !

Remember it is very cold.  Ffffffrrrrrrrreeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzing !

The vodka's are much better than the russian ones. Chopin Vodka (50 proof)
is a strong suggestion from Yours Truly. The bottle is very beautiful. You
can leave it empty in your room after you drink it all by yourself.

Stay-tuned to Museum-L !
