The Dark Knight

This weekend I went to see the new Batman flick. I was surprised at how dark and edgy the film turned out. If I had to describe it in one word: Twisted. Ledger as the Joker was phenomenal. Apparently I'm the only one who likes Batman's rasptastic voice.

One of the best movies I have seen in years. The movie was saturated with poignant political and social undertones which are highly relevant to today.

The katakana on the poster reads: DaaKu NaITo


Movies are much more expensive in Japan. To go to the movies it costs 1,800 yen and DVD's range in price from 1,500-3,500 yen, almost double what you will pay in the states. However, when you buy a movie ticket in Japan you get to choose where you sit. Here is a picture of the seating chart!


After the movie I got dinner. Guess where I ate?


Note the wholesome clean fun Americana decor.


Recycling is a huge deal in Japan. Even at Mickey D's.
