Nnnooooooooo!

Some good suggestions here already. Adding one more - bring water onto the plane. Stay hydrated. As a bonus, it gives you an excuse to go for frequent walks to the bathroom.

Sorry, eh

The remake was fine, but personally I didn’t understand the praise it got for basically being a slightly prettier version of the original. I want new Dead Space!

I was in one of the areas that was hit by the rotating brown outs.

Sure would have been nice to get an EAS alert warning to reduce consumption first. There weren’t any.

No kids are perfectly behaved. We had a great time all over the Asian countries we visited, more accommodating than North America in some ways.

You will definitely get culture shock when visiting Japan if you’re never been to Asia though, just for many others reasons.

As a counter point, I had a great time in Osaka with my young daughter this summer. I’m not saying the previous poster was wrong, just that my experience was apparently very different.

Currently reading through Spider Island. It’s not bad IMO, but seems like a lot of filler.
