Only day and a half remaining and soon I’m in Paris<\/strong>. My target of course Japan Expo<\/strong> <\/a>and most of all Morning Musume<\/a><\/strong> comcert.<\/p>\n

As the trip is quite short in terms of distance (flight time 3 hours) and lenght (3 nights) I don’t need much stuff to fill my backpack. Only the most necessary things I take with me.<\/p>\n

Of course I need to find places so I need Paris region plus metro\/train maps and some prints from Google Maps<\/a>. Just praising again how handy tool Google Maps is when you are going to places you have not been before.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finnish passport looks quite dull but I need it too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then there are printed documents such as press pass accreditation approvals for concert and Japan Expo, e-tickets for flights Helsinki-Paris-Helsinki and hotel reservation for 3 nights near Pigalle<\/strong>. Hah ha, staying in the district of lewd Paris.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Maybe I need also these: Finnish language Paris travel paperback and my old cell phone (without navigation app).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And what are these? Something very important I think.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Camera definitely goes into my backpack. Taking photos for Finnish Japan Pop<\/strong> magazine, for our kakko-ii blog but also for my private photo album. The only corny thing is that Up-Front Agency<\/strong> still has this absurd policy of disallowing photo shooting during Morning Musume’s concert and all other events the group is attending. I mean this is Europe, not Japan. I’ve used to taking press photos in any situations and now I wonder how boring my Morning Musume concert reportage in Japan Pop magazine is going to be without any photos of Morning Musume.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And finally it seems that I soon need my raincoat because the weather forecast promises heavy and light rain showers for Japan Expo weekend.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If it rains in Paris I’m sure there is one (actually 8+1) light that shines almost like sun on Friday 2nd July.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
