Overseas call

I called a friend in East Europe around 5:30am to say good night. Because of time difference we were at the time to go to bed. When I got up I found there was a message on my mobile answering machine. It was a call from my friend in USA who has sent me a mail with her poem and picture. I woke up my sleepy head and called her back. Next one I called was a potential customer in Hong Kong. I am not sure which time zone I am living in.
I had dinner at a Japanese restaurant in Shibuya with friends. A web disigner, a semiconductor specialist and medical/pharmaceutical related. We enjoyed talking about international relationship, thanatology, and some work related topics. Of course we were not so serious...
午前５：３０過ぎに東ヨーロッパの友達に「オヤスミナサイ」電話。時差の関係でお互いに眠る時間が近いからだ。起きてみると携帯の留守番電話にメッセージが。メールで自作の詩を写真を送ってくれていたアメリカの友人からだった。眠い頭を起こして電話をかけなおす。次は香港の見込み客に電話。一体私はどの時間帯で生活しているのだろう？
渋谷の和食屋で夕飯を。ウェブデザイナー、半導体スペシャリストに医療・製薬関係者。国際関係、死生観、仕事絡みの話しで盛り上がる。もちろんみんなマジメな話しをしていたわけではなく・・・。
