Nice, glad to see you raising the intellectual level of this conversation. What do you mean 'fewer crowds' and 'shorter waits'? You are already using the American Citizen only line, aren't you? I'm guessing that either way the crowds and waits will always be the same. The crowds and…

Konami is just interested in to cash and obviously they should have taken their finger out of the game. It's not that even 1000Konami ego stabbing-shooting games would pose a problem, the japanese DVD, Anime, Manga and older games have enough evil inside to ruin the world . .so what…

When I first came to Japan and my Japanese was next to non-existent, I couldn't fathom his Eigatte iimon desune! I thought there was a verb eigaru.

I honestly don't think that sensible people choose one holiday destination over another because of the nature of immigration or airport security.

Ugh, I hate it when people like this die. After you see them around for year after year, they have a special place in your life that when they die you realise how special people are, even the ones we don't have direct contact with.

Enough of Akihabara already! How about some cute kittens or Best Stockingist 2008.

Some lucky homeless person is going to have a feast tonight!…
