On the Doctor Who front: Holy shit but Utopia was amazing. Jack is back!
On the Japan front, I meant to post yesterday but completely forgot. Yesterday my family took me to Nagoya for the day to see Nagoya Castle. We left at 7:45 and got there around 10:30, with a stop for breakfast on the way. The castle is gorgeous on the outside, restored to its original architecture. On the inside it's a proper concrete-and-wood museum, complete with models in glass cases. There is a tea house, where Shiori and I had tea, and the gardens are very well cared for. It was a really hot day, but that just gave me an excuse to add to my collection of fans.
Following the castle we had a late lunch at the Nagoya Takashimaya, which is 13 floors of shops and 2 sub-floors of supermarket. Following lunch we had two hours of browsing through it. I found Onmyoji volumes 4 and 5, which I really hope I don't have. I'm pretty sure I don't. Also, triaelf9, I found Harry Potter in Japanese there. However, it's in two parts and a little too expensive. I'll look around Iida when I've got a chance.
I've also added some new photos to my Japan album.
