This show is sooo awesome! Kelly is really funny! I learn a lot about Japan by watching this drama! But then again the projection of the Japanese culture is sorta biased, cause we see Kelly's perspective. But it is educational and fun to watch! :woot:

well, kelly isn't really to my taste. she swears too much for one thing but at least she admits to being a brat and is being herself. at least she's out there giving it a go i suppose.

She isn't really "my taste" either, but its the only show I know of that introduces the Japanese culture, through a western perspective. Then again, is that really a good thing? :hehe: She might be ruining the culture!

Yea I agree, but I do enjoy the show. I mean, of course it's in her perspective and sometimes she's really negative about certain elements of the culture, but she admits that she's bratty, as you said, but she does admit that she's experiencing the awesomeness.

So, minus all the negative whinning she does, I find the show really interesting. Especially since she's right in among the people and nothing is glorified.

yeah, a vacation. not really, but i do have a pen pal in Nagoya, and i hope to visit her while near Kyoto.

there are a few areas of interest that i hope to visit. The toji gates(not sure of the name), but i have seen them in various magazines, and in the movie the main character runs thru the gates, about 3.1 miles worth of red toji gates.

also, i would love to see the bamboo grove forest in Kyoto, something that i missed out on last time in Kyoto. I should post up pix of these two great areas of interest, or someone can feel free to post them, to get this thread moving again.
