Ichigo in Japan: Going to the movies

So I went to my first movie in Japan. What was interesting about it was how much was similar and how much was just different enough.

The theater I went to was the Warner Brothers “Mycal” theater in the Aeon shopping center just down the street, a mile or so away. This was a 10 screen theater or so, and had a lot of movies playing. Of course, the big American ones had opened, Mummy 3, Hancock, Dark Knight, with Wanted opening in a couple days. I decided to go and see Sky Crawlers, the new Mamoru Oshii film.

The Seto Inland Sea, Iga and the new Apartment

Sorry it’s been a while since I posted details of my travels. I was down on a small island in the Seto Inland Sea (the name of the straight that runs between the islands of Honshu and Shikoku) for a week with no computer. Then after a day trip to Iga it was time for my first week of work, and I immediately proceeded to get sick and spent pretty much any time not at work in bed. I’m better now, and finally feel up to doing some blogging.

First up, I moved out of my place in Tokyo, and here finally is a picture of the room:
