Can’t remember the last time I went to see a movie in a theater. Must have been in Finland where we used to go almost every week. Since I’m badly jetlagged and stuck at the hotel (my colleague who has rented a car for all of us went shopping alone !), I decided to go next door: Universal Studios. If only they served beer… Note to self: the drink and popcorn are more expensive than the movie ticket.

Hard to believe that there are still some planes for long haul flights without personal entertainment. Unfortunately this KE0001 bound for LA is one of them. Came as a shock and I’m totally unprepared: no book, no ipod… This is going to be a long flight!

A bit of sunshine between two downpours. Two or three weeks more and the rainy season (tsuyu) will be over.

When I moved to Japan three years ago, there were hardly any deodorants for sale. They started selling some last year, with Axe at the forefront. A few years more and commuting trains will smell differently!

Only a few drivers realise that it’s not because there’s no fog that rear fog lights can’t be used. Heavy rain with poor visibility is also a valid use case.
