Selections of movies are so much better in Japan compared to the US. There are many Japanese movies and anime that are only avaiable at NETFLIX Japan. It must be something to do with the copyright. I am sure many Anime fan in the US would love to have an access.

Why AWD?

There is no snow in Seattle ... Someone told me when I moved to Seattle. That year, we had huge snow storm and I was not able to get out of apartment for a week. That was back in 1985. Since then, we had 4 or 5 snow. When it snows, Seattle shuts down. Unlike Chicago, Seattle has a lot of hills.

Today, there is a snow in Seattle. 99.9% of time, you do not need 4WD/AWD car but when it snows, you need it. That is the reason why Subaru has 5% market share in Washington State. One of our company car is Subaru. That is why I bought Subaru.

Our company car is San Diego was a Subaru ... We did not need that there for sure.

NHK is a Japanese public TV channel with no commercial. Super Bowl is being broadcasted in Japan by NHK ... That means I see no commercial. I wonder how much is NHK is paying for this broadcasting.

Japanese Hot Spring - Onsen

Feb

Arima Onsen

3,800yen includes 2,000yen lunch vaoucher and entry to hot spring.

When you come to Japan, one of the places you need to go is a hot spring. My house in Japan is very close to Arima, one of the most famous hot springs in Japan. Since, I cannot take a picture inside the bath, I took a picture just outside. It is a very nice place.
