When I was walking a street of Venice, suddenly I heard a sound that I have never hear before.
The sound had somehow metalic tune, but it was obviously not made by synthsizer nor computer programed instrument because the sound was so synhponic and it reached my ears so naturally.
The performer was a young man with nice looking clear-cut face, and the instrument was semispherical rounded metal. He hit the metal with both hand with gloves.
It resonate very nostalgic sounds and caught me for a while, and it was very beautiful and amazing sound.
PS. After the performance, many people were asking what kind of instrument it is.
And the answer was this is special instrument is a product of Switzerland and it is produced only 100 pieces per year.

Conference in Torino, 2007
I have just come back from a conference "IUPAC Chemistry Congress" in Torino, Italy.
There were presentations and discussions about "typical" chemistry.
but also some special themes
"Chemistry Protecting Health, Natural Environment, and Cultural Heritage"
were featured.
It was probably because, the place, Italy is a country which has uncountable historical heritages. It is actually very far away from what I am doing but a few of presentations I saw were interesting (Although I was more listening to the other themes...)
The view of Torino, Italy
Lingotto Conference Centre (August 5-12, 2007)
*Formerly the building was a factory of Italian automobile industry"FIAT"
The main venue "Audiļ½orium"
There were several famous scientists and there were many things I can learn from them the way to present or talk the works as well as scientific knowledges. It was interesting to see that one famous professor was even showing a magic during presentations! :)
Overall, it was a eventful time and I enjoyed the congress together with the every day's Italain Pizza and Pastas!
PS. Friends and everybody! hosted me in Rimini and Torino, it was really nice time and I'd like to say thanks here again!! Hope to see you again somewhere!!
