I've Returned !

Wow its been what like a month now since I last dropped in. I've been back from my trip in europe for a few days now but this is the first chance I got to post something. I've been busy doing the usual post trip things unpack, do laundy, figure out the damage done to my bank account the basic things like that. You guys are probably wondering how the trip went. It was pretty good considering the fact that my parent litteraly had to drag me along. Every year we make a trip somewhere and I usually dont spend much time at home during the holidays so sometimes i just wanna take a break from all the travelling and kick back and relax at home. I know I've been told by pretty much everyone, you get to go to europe and your complaining!!! hmmmm.. come to think of it thats what they say about every trip I make not just this one but getting away from that the trip was more fun than I had expected. We did lots of cool stuff, and dont laugh at me for this one i know its sad but i got to travel by train and boat for the first time in my life. That was pretty exciting. I saw lots of old monuments and historical battle sites. Pretty intresting.... The one thing that dissapointed me the most was the food. People always say that french food is really good and that italian pasta and pizza is the best but I found it to be really oily and the sauces all had wine in them so they were somewhat wine tasting. I'm a big food person next to anime I would have to say food is my next biggest obssession. Don't get ideas that im some kind of a food critic or anything when i say im obssesed with food i'm saying that I like to eat all food all day long litteraly. Oh remember the bombings that happened in London about 3 weeks ago well the hotel that we were suppost to say in was right in front of one of the explosions. Injured people were actually being carried in and treated in that hotel. In the end we did go to London and im happy we did. I found this massive anime and manga store about 5 block from the hotel. I was so happy to see the huge selection they had it was better than all the ones in my city. I was in there for an hour just staring at the merchandise. Didn't leave enpty handed though, I bought this months issue of Newtype. I really needed a dose of anime and i was desprate. Returing home i was devistated to find that the local anime store where i get all my "legal" movies was forced to sell his entire anime collection. This is what happened. About a month before i left this new comic readers place moved in near the anime store. The comic readers also sell manga and rent legal anime dvds. The only problem for them was that they were charging like 5 bucks for a single dvd and thats for one day, plus if you late returing it its an additional 250 everyday. So for a forgetful person like me I usually comes close to 12 when i rent a single dvd. While at the other shop dvds are 1.99 and theres no late charges. Anyways the comic readers kept losing business to the other shop so they filed a report to the canadian film board. They investigated and they told him that he couldnt rent the anime and asian movies because there was no rating on them. Thats right no rating. They didnt catch him on the illegal download but the fact that the movies were unrated. Pretty stupid if you tell me. But thats all from me for now.
