The importance of innovation

Even though I am a traveler who does everything possible to spend some weekends in a foreign country, the truth is that I am also a business man. As a matter of fact, I run a small company that deals with advertising and marketing for other companies, meaning that it is extremely important that I always show innovation and creativity on everything that my company presents to the clients.

Keeping this in mind, apart from the technical areas of my work and all the other important concepts, showing innovation in everything is extremely relevant and I recently impressed all my clients with the presentation of the customized checks that you can find on the link above, meaning that you can add your personal touch to the checks too! This means that checks will also play a role as advertising “cards”, giving your business an even more professional look. Personally, I would personalize these checks to be used as personal checks by adding the American flag to the background of the check and I would also add a small “gold coin” icon to the checks as these two things mean a lot to me. In fact, I am really proud of being American plus I will never forget the first gold coin that I have received from my family when I was a small kid. How would you customize your own checks?

So, would you also like to add your personal touch to the business or personal checks that you use on a daily basis? If that’s the case, then you definitely need to take some of your time to have a look at the website to which I have linked just above and see how VistaPrint services can really come in handy when you decide to bring some innovation to your checks or any other printed papers that you may tend to deal with regularly.

Have you ever tried the amazing Tokyo restaurants?

Are you a food lover who always tries almost everything you find on the city? Well, I am one of those persons and I really seem to love to try different food and cocktails... Keeping this in mind, below is another msnbc.com article which will give you an idea of how you it all works and where you should definitely go:

NEW YORK - Tokyo is the hottest city for food lovers for a second consecutive year because of its abundance of innovative restaurants and superb ingredients, according to a U.S. food magazine.

Barcelona came in second, followed by Copenhagen, London and New York in Food & Wine Magazine's fourth annual list of top cities to go for cutting-edge cuisine and vibrant food scenes.

"Tokyo is the best food city hands down," Jen Murphy, the magazine's travel editor, said. "That's where chefs are going for innovations. There's also a history of food traditions. They are so far ahead of us."

All the top cities on the list offer "fantastic food at all price points," Murphy added.

In a surprise move, Paris with its abundance of Michelin-star restaurants fell off the list after placing second last year.

While this was not a slam against French cuisine, which remains top-notch, Murphy explained, "Right now, there's no new excitement to the food scene there."

The global dining scene, meanwhile, has been adversely affected by the economic downturn. For example, Moscow was in contention for a spot on the magazine's list this year, but it dropped out of the running as the Russian economy soured, according to Murphy.

While diners may be eating out less, chefs around the world are still creating dishes with unusual ingredients.

"There will always be die-hard foodies who will fly to Copenhagen to taste them," Murphy said.
