im writing at a cafe in tokyo.  I've met my family, relatives, and friends... and ate, drank, and smoked with them...  just a little bit of smoking, so do not get angry and destroy my personal properties (to someone who has access to my room).

by the way... im researching on how to be a film director in japan... here, filmmaking is not a big business like in u.s... and tv and animation have bigger markets.  people who become directors are rare and there aren't specific ways to be a director... probably, submitting works to festivals, writing screenplays, or entering a film company could be the way... 

im interested in making films in u.s. but also like to make japanese films...hmmmmm...conflict... 

and somebody who is looking forward to japanese food... don't worry... i'll buy bunch of food and sake.  heheheheheheehehe
