Finally bought "Lost in Translation" from Best Buy and watch it. I've been hearing positive reviews about this movie and enjoy watching part of it at Francis's place back in July.

The movie brings back a lot of memory from my Japan trip back in 2003; The many same places in the movie that I was in; The small cultural/Japanese-way things; The comedy.

It also remind me of Jackie Cheung's 男人40; middle-age man, young girl, fall for each other. It builds up the mood of loneliness, lost, foreign, and culture differences in the movie. I felt the same way when I go to Paris on business trip. Everythings just so curiously interesting, yet puzzling since I don't speak the language.

BTW, Scarlett Johansson is just incredibly cute and sexy in the movie.

It's creeping out of my mind from time to time recently about going on the road again. I guess it's a withdrawal from the Boston business trip. It's certainly a lonely road to travel for work, even you got to see a lot of things, and it's hard to stay balance when you're not at home. I know I fell apart during the trip somewhat. i.e. not keeping up with things on the net, eating too much/slightly unhealthy, lack of exercise, etc. Sometimes, I just envy my friend Dixon able to pull up all the sticks and move to Japan. He's now happily living with his wife in Yokohama.

Meanwhile, I need to go Japan again... to see Fuji San.
