I was in the Hong Kong Tea House in Roppongi Hills when it struck! I had no idea what was going on until my wife calmly said it was an earthquake! Was a little scary!
I pretty much pay for everything with card here in the UK and yeah, I recall Japan (from my holidays there) being heavy cash orientated. And I could never find an ATM!! Was Angels and Demons in English with subtitles or dubbed Japanese?
Loved the photos, Danny, as did my wife. She was really curious about you! I think it's the Jimmy Choo connection :) I live in Scotland and I love the UK. I think Japan is a great place too but I'm not sure if I could live there full time. I suppose...
