Alf is still around here! Yesterday I saw some Alf DVDs in Tsutaya and today this was on TV. Apparently it’s on every Monday night.
Other random news:
- Soba-yasan curry isn’t as nice as regular curry.
- Found a beautiful shrine less than a block away from the apartment I’ll be moving into Feb 20th. I’ll take photos when I’m there at daytime.
- There’s a huge mall and cinema across the road from the apartment, and a big park one block away. Lots of tiny streets around it filled with izakaya and various little restaurants selling sushi, monja-yaki and donburi.
- Blu-ray is cheap here! I’m going to get a 32″ LCD TV for about ¥90,000 which has a Blu-ray recorder in it. BD-RE (re-writable discs) are less than ¥400 each (and are about €8 each in Ireland). The TV is 1080p, chi-deji compatible (explanation in next post), and if you plug in a LAN cable it has a full web browser. Plays DVDs and CDs too.
