Oh man has anyone been to Macau and gone to Fisherman's Wharf? There's this BB gun game like paintball called "War Game" where you put on a stack of armour and fire pellets at each other. It's SO GOOD!

Me and my friend said we were 18 and went two on two with the big Macanese guys there who looked like they were actually in the army. It was amazingly good.

That's kinda to do with the topic...

OK it's not.

Menasha - Good call on the scene with "she" crying after the phone call ... I believe she says "somebody help me" or something to that effect. Great scene .. very emotional.

From Voices ... Mikako on the back of the bike when the tracers are flying .. more for the visual than the emotion. The scene leading up to the final line in Voices ... the listing of all the things they've missed ... excellent.

The last moments before Sayuri awakes in Place Promised ... the emotional build up, similar to the end of Voices ... very touching. You can feel the hope and the fear in Sayuri as circumstance forces her to trade her love for Hirkoi for her awakening.

In 5 CM ... The end scene at the train tracks and the montage.

I can't wait for the next work from Mr. Shinkai Smile

Or you could walk home, listen to the cicadas and the sea breeze, and watch a rocket launch. Wouldn't that make for a wonderful evening.

*gleowine stares off into the distance, imagining the possibilities of a Shinkai tour of Japan.*

Where is 5cm based? I know The Place is based at the very top of Honshu, looking out over to Hokkaido, and I know that Tokyo is featured in 5cm. What are the other places?
