Are there many good ambassadors for metal?? Do those kind exist?

Tell me about it. Last time I was back I put on about 4kg in 2 1/2 weeks

I have heard good things about the place. I'm not sure how much some people might expect at a rate of just 3000 yen a night??? Anyway, seems there are differing opinions on the place. whatever

Clouds are amazing things, don't you think? I love looking at them.

I've gotten back to being good about it again recently, but it's tough going. Goold luck Kenta!

Yesterday was certainly a hot one, hoping that it will get cooler now that typhooo is out of the way

To improve, to enjoy.

Check out some English movies with English subtitles, you'll see that what they say and what is written is often quite different.

Not insects, but there's tons of small bats in the fields behind my aparto - take a walk outside in the early evening and you (fell like you're getting) attacked by the little buggers. Hundreds of them flying about.

Interesting reasoning there, db. The thing is, by doing that, you'll just sound very much like a gaijin who can't speak Japanese very well.

Heres another one: The drummer of ZZ Top's surname is Beard. But he is the only one in the group who doesn't have a great big 'ZZ Top' beard.

Talking of Mel Gibson, I saw Braveheart recently and really enjoyed it. If I remember correctly, there was controversy about that too and how many liberties Mel took with the real life story. Good movie all the same.

There used to be a lovely sakura tree near my house. It got chopped down earlier this year to make way for an advertising billboard, which now kindly tells me about the miso ramen at the new ramen shop in the town that I can have for 700 yen.

Yes, me too. How inconsiderate of other people not understanding and falling into line...

Flight + 2 + 1 + waiting times for me.

I'd say that it isn't as expensive as you might be led to believe before you come here, and there are definitely ways of not being ripped all over.

They are extremely persistant, and don't take no for an answer first and second time. Quite surprising really, its not as if they're gonna change peoples minds now is it?

That looks like it's going to ROCK. Pity it is still over a year off....

It's the pinnacle of anyones career, surely, being on the Simpsons.

Come on, you've got to tell us more about her.... !

I only trust towns that have some reference to nature and machizukuri in their slogan.

I cant see that money for guns program doing much good either with hardcore dudes

Geeetar

Hey - when do you listen to the Japanese dubbed versions? For study or what?

My local news girls are not the best looking, to say the least.
