I love the transportation in Tokyo, even if it gets smashed sometimes. I don't really like to drive so to be able to ride a train almost anywhere is really nice.
I have spent a lot of time in Jiyugaoka before, its really cool there. I also like using those Shokken machines it makes things easier especially since last time I went to Japan my Japanese was not so good.
I live in the southwest US so they put up a lot of fake farolitos (Bags with candles in them or in this case plastic with a light in it for anyone who doesn't know) on the buildings around here. They actually look pretty nice at night.
I like to do 3d animation though which would benefit from having more cores. For the time being though my Hackintosh gets the job done well and cost only a fraction of the price :).
I have it installed on my desktop PC. I actually own a Macbook Pro as well but I wanted something more powerful with OS X. At some point I hope to be able to afford a Mac Pro.
