Lazy Sunday
Some stuff I did in the course of the week...
Went to watch 電車男 (Densha Otoko) on wednesday night with Mark and 2 of my Japanese friends, Takayuki (Waterboys lead) plays a geek, who likes computers, Anime, and all the figurines of anime chracters and hangs around a place called Akibahara (Akiba for short), where it's like the Sim Lim and Bugis district where we have in Singapore... So being an otaku(geek), he's never had luck with girls, but things happen in the train, well sounds cliche, but Tokyolites love the train, and it's where the most weird and interesting things happen in Tokyo.
So in the end, he got together with Miki Nakatani who played "Hermes" in the show, the daughter of a rich guy. Yes some rich people still take trains as it's still the easiest way to get around Tokyo. The novel was a hit in Japan, it's not really a novel, but the whole book was written like a irc chat between 電車男 and his net-frens, like what a geek would do... and if it ever airs in Singapore, I would recommend it. It's cliche, but the funny parts of it are really funny
One of the worst sundays I ever had in Japan...
I woke up early cos I slept early last night, I looked at the work piled up in my file, and decided to try to finish them as soon as possible. My Japanese presentation, writeup on Starbucks Japan, the routine homework, and my Economics presentation.
I can sense the end of my term here in Japan, as I hand up my application for the return ticket and my withdrawal form for the dorm. It's really never enough in Japan I would say, there are still a thousand things I would wanna do here. But as with everything in life, you are constrained with the money and time factor. Trying to priortise the things that I want to do here, to watch a soccer match in their stadium, and to visit the Aichi World Exhibition, and DisneySea....
It's so unfair, Liverpool, Man U, Juve, Barca, Bayern, Valencia are all here for matches, while if anyone of them comes to Singapore, it would be extremely big news...
As for Aichi World Exhibition, I was surprised to hear that the Singapore booth is actually very popular among the tourists. With a simulator for the weather in Singapore, and food like Hokkien Mee and Goreng Pisang....
Not to mention that I get to watch the lastest dramas and anime on TV live. Not to say that S'pore or HK dramas suck, but it's hard to find some outstanding ones among them. Not that all Japanese drama are like WOW! but they are amazingly consistent in quality, very few dramas have made me fall asleep, but quite a few have made me watch them 5 episodes at a go...And yes please don't even try to compare them with Korean dramas, all korean dramas I watched so far made me sleep, although Japanese now do watch quite a lot of Korean dramas, and Mr Bae have made lots of money here, because the richest people here are the "Obaasans", they are the ones who zip around Tokyo in their latest red Mercs SL65, or the Ferrari Modena 360...
Well there's no such thing as the best of both worlds, I wanna enjoy life in Tokyo, but I still have homework to do....
