Brrr… I can’t think of a better word than that to start today’s post. Despite wearing leather gloves and my nice warm hat, I could still feel the biting cold as I whipped through the streets on my racer last night. It’s winter here in Japan and it’s not my favorite season. I know, I

Over the years I’ve lost count how many movies I’ve watched. Ever since I moved overseas and we bought a Betamax I was hooked. In high school it was my weekly chore to select 8 movies for the week as at the time Thailand didn’t have any English TV available. Each week I’d jump in
