In which fun and sunstroke is had by all

A few days ago, I went with my mother and sister to Tokyo Disney. I find it strange that many people haven't heard of or do not know about Tokyo Disney. If you've not gotten the hint from my talks about the contents of UFO catchers and the like -- Disney is super-popular here. It is almost entirely due ( Read more... )

Sweet.

Sorry. You're not tall and blonde. You're obviously not a real foreigner, regardless of breast size.

Which reminds me -- bra cup sizes are done by centimeters here. It confused me a great deal before I realised that. When reading ads for Playboy on the trains I would see girls with modest C-cups above big headlines like, "すごい! F-cup!!!"

Bras don't seem to go above American C in Japan. I'm actually surprised they go above B.

Does that actually surprise you? ;) Doesn't Japanese B sound better than AAA?

Also, not to argue semantics, but Disney does not deserve props for Winnie the Pooh ;)
They just were the first to animate it in the early 60's, but there is still a huge group of people who hate the Disney version of the characters and still make plushies of the illustrated Pooh from the books.

True, Disney did permeate every markey in every country with Pooh, but there are those that say that their Pooh is false ;)

I never said they deserved props for Pooh. Where did you get that idea? But since you mention it, I prefer the early Disney Pooh to the stuffy original British version. I always disliked Christopher Robin in the books and he thankfully makes fewer appearances in the animations. Plus, I think that the voice-acting in the original Pooh animations was perfect. The new Pooh I could do without.

Welcome! ^_^

Glad you've enjoyed the journal. Adding me to your friends list won't get you much I'm afraid tho. I'm going back to the US in about 10 days. Nonetheless, I intend to revive the journal when I return, which could be as early as January. We shall see...
