My friend and I are planing to go to Japan next April. It'll both be our first time to visit the country and we're excited. April's our target month because we both want to see the cherry blossoms and enjoy the festivals. It's also my birthmonth, and...
Woohoo! Shoji Kawamori! I've been a fan of his since I first saw Vision of Escaflowne back in 1997 (a year after it first came out). So cool to see this. You're work's awesome, Danny. You're getting to meet a lot of the people I admire.
Exactly what I thought. That's why my first thought was the Tokyo Tower too. Fuji tops the list for natural landmarks, although it's also the first for me when it comes to any Japanese landmark.
BECK! I'd forgotten that it's out. I'm excited to see it. I followed the manga from start to finish and it was great!
It's great that you can count on the Japanese to pay for the food honestly. Here, I think it only works for one place in the entire...
Danny, your London Chinatown is neater compared to the Chinatown I know here in Manila. It's pretty busy, with a lot of shops crammed at every corner. It's madness, but it's the kind you want to get lost in. :) I don't have much pictures though. Mayb...

It will go great with the yukata my best friend got for me when she went to Osaka last summer.

I wore a uniform from pre-school until high school. I think most schools here have uniforms. It's rare that I see them NOT wear uniforms, except maybe the International Schools but as far as I know, they do wear uniforms.
I feel sorry for kids who g...
This actually freaks me out (even without knowing who's behind the masks haha). I remember watching an episode of the series Bones that featured this. It was really disturbing for me. Sorry.
--- The list of qulifications are mostly mumbo-jumbo to me but I am willing to do all these for that "cleaning the staff toilet, hoovering the floor, polishing the tables and dusting down the girls. You may be asked to fold boxes from the daily sampl...
Oh, I think I spotted your wedding picture hehe. Danny with long hair!
I worked as a Microsoft L2 tech support before, and it wasn't an easy job. I hated the times when something happens and no one can explain why, and the KB articles don't help at...
I prefer full RSS feeds. I use Google Reader mostly at work, which allows me to keep up with sites that are normally blocked. If I want to reply, I mark that entry and do so when I get home, mostly by visiting the main site. Using RSS also helps keep...
On the train line that I ride daily, it's crowded but nothing like a sardine can or what. It's just the regular rush of students & workers. However, on one of the train lines, it's about that every morning (or at least, what my friends say). One time...
I'm the opposite: PC @ work, Mac @ home (but I've got a PC too) so the debate on which is better is pretty much null for me. Both have their pros & cons, so if I need something that the other can't give, I just usually move computers hehe.
I saw a video of this on <a href="http://web-japan.org/jvt/">Japan Video Topics</a> a few years ago. It's really interesting, and I think they're planning to do (or have done?) something similar for cars.
BTW, that show is fun to watch hehe.
I think there's a few PC laptops there. Maybe the guy in front and someone at the back haha (unless they just covered their Macs).
Macs are ok for me. I'm a new user and I'm enjoying it alot. I use computers mostly for documents & the Internet, so e...
I agree! If I had the money I'd buy a ticket to Singapore just for this, but since I don't, I'm just going to wish that Danny would have a similar event here in the Philippines. :D
Sometimes, it takes a bit for me to ask something. Some questions need a bit more courage than others, although I suppose the only thing that you could lose is your pride. This post inspired me to go ahead and voice out a few things I've always wante...
I can get takoyaki from a stall at the mall here. :) There's also plenty of festivals where I live. It seems like all year round there's one, and often, each town celebrates its own fiesta (festival). It usually happens during the summer too, but som...
Manners here vary. From my experience though, I usually encounter more rude people than those who care about their fellowman. On the train, again, it varies. Usually, most people would get up and offer their seat to an elderly or to anyone with a kid...
