Anik: Shoko, could you update us on Japanese and Korean banks?
Shoko: Sure. Three Japanese and two Korean banks have confirmed their participation.
Anik: How about you, Henry?
Henry: Singapore Bank and Bank of Hong Kong have joined us with co-lead manager status and sizable amounts. We will see participation from three out of four taiwanese banks, too, though with smaller amounts in comparison.
Anik: Thank you, both of you. Some Middle Eastern banks have yet to establish a relationship with Bindi, so it's taking some time for a credit review, but they're very keen to participate.
Shoko: I see. Our total stands at &140 million so far, leaving us with &60 million to reach out target.
Anik: We shouldn't be too optimistic, but it seems the deal is shaping up quite well.

Toyota Motor and BMW are stepping up collaboration on fuel cell vehicles. The Japanese carmaker is supplying key components to its German counterpart.
The automotive powerhouses first formed the ties in 2012 and have been co-developing hydrogen tanks, motors, and other basic systems for the fuel cell vehicles. Sources say joint efforts are expanding, and that Toyota will supply important parts such as tanks and fuel cells to BMW.

今日は数十年ぶりに葛西臨海水族園に行ってきました。改めて見るとデザイン性の高い素晴らしい建物に驚かされました。家に戻って調べてみると谷口吉生さんの設計だったのですね。まぐろの回遊水槽は迫力がありました。風が強く空気が澄んでいて遠くの景色まで良く見えていました。夕焼けも美しく十五夜の月もとってもきれいな日でした。。
それは素敵な体験になりましたね。
