I saw Coldplay live at Fuji Rock this year. They were a terrific headline act, very strong live performance, easily the most memorable visually and a very strong sound too. They played "Fix You" as part of their encore. Great show.

Heh ... reminds me of the drunk salariman I saw at Meguro station last week. He looked very weary as, head down, he walked UP the down escalator. In the 5 minutes I was waiting for the train, he managed to keep a geo-stationary position about halfway up (or maybe down) the escalator. For all I know, he's still there ...

Virgin and SQ for me. Was on the SQ A380 up from Singapore last month - just a fantastic flight!

Memento (director Christopher Nolan, who also did The Prestige which Yongyang mentioned). Guy Pierce in the lead role ... a great film!

The guy beat a 17 year old girl unconscious with a rock and left her for dead in a field in the middle of winter.
"She didn't put out" is not a justifiable excuse. Not in law, nor under any moral code I subscribe to.

Its certainly a problem to be bi-literal. Did you look at Nishimachi? I understand they have a bi-literal / bi-lingual curriculum.
My kids (British father, Japanese mother) are at international school. I am very happy with the education experience they are getting. But damn, it really is expensive!

One of the finest trips I have made in Japan was to Matsue and Izumo. Izumo Taisha is awesome, 'warigo soba' delicious, and the view of Daisen is breathtaking. You can get an overnight sleeper train from Tokyo. Great trip!

I agree with Altria - I don't play either but I enjoyed (and learned a lot from) this article.
