I did rather poorly on this one - I usually manage better on British ganster films - but the sound was way too quiet in the theater, so I had to strain my hearing a bit. Good point about the subs, amazingly I had to resort to English subs in some schenes of Ivan the Terrible, so I never turned them off. Could that be that I need to polish my Russian before my next trip there?

And every time I recall that boulder scene I smile.

And Japan and its toilets? Japan is one of the most comfortable places to visit... my wife would kill for another chance to go there, beautiful and wonderful people, serene and friendly. I envy you.

So the Japanese toilet makes you uneasy? Man, and I have to go to Russia... There was a joke many years back about a guy displaying the Siberian toilet at an international show. It consisted of two birch (of course it HAD to be birsh... the most Russian wood of all Russian woods...) sticks. You would stick one in the ground and hang your clothes on it. The second one you would use to fend off the wolves.

Sometimes I feel so homesick I could walk from Alaska to Chukotka on water...
