Sounds very romantic john.
Oh, BTW, I might slap up a review after I watch it. Yes, I know. Been a while since I've done that but, I just have this strong urge to write about this movie.
Please Sedai, you can call me Matthew.

Yea, I'm kind of dragging someone to it. I told him it was amazing and he needed to see it, so we're going together. Should be a blast!
Great choice mcClane! I am seeing it again this weekend with my Ex...

Bobby: I was really down yesterday, but am OK today!
That's my goal when I grow up, to get to Japan. I can't wait to see the women, um...I mean scenery.

Well, my exams are over and how shall I celebrate? By seeing Children of Men for a second time tomorrow!
Eh...I'm ok. Things are a little gloomy outside, but whatcha gonna do, ya' know?
I am well, and you?
My one somewhat bold guarantee for Oscar season is that Leo wins Best Actor for The Departed.

How's everyone doing?
Spud: I will keep that in mind! Thanks for the info!

Shinbuya eki wa doku des ka?

Yeah, funny, but train stations are used as sample locations for learning the "where is" stuff etc. in the course. They use some different stations, tho (Shinjuku and Ueno)
Here are a few places in Japan worth a look.

Shibuya Station, I know, I know...a train station? This location is in at least one scene in every movie about Japan (well not every movie).

Mt. Fuji, always worth a hike up to the top.

Shinagawa, huge ferris wheel

Roppongi/Shibuya, these are basically suberbs of Tokyo, if you're looking to do a little partying, these two areas are it.
Oh im sorry Sed and SpudUlike, your wishes of NEw Year wonder are mucho appreciated.

Since coming back from my Hols this year, i have never wanted to go travelling so bad. Hopefully now i have experience for a career that i want to stay in under my belt, when i leave this job i can afford to take some time off for travellng if i can save up so hopefully this may be my year. And Japan would deffo be on the map for me.
