You know from the beginning that the protagonist (or the protagonist's partner) will die. You watch the rest to see how the character copes with his/her illness impending death.

There are SO MANY examples of such Japanese movies and drama serials...

1. Some drama series about a family with a foster father who had terminal-stage cancer (I don't know the series' name; I watched it when I was 7)
2. "Crying Out Love, in the centre of the world" - girl dies from leukemia.
3. "One Litre of Tears" - girl dies from spinocerebellar ataxia.
4. Some movie about a middle-aged man, who discovers he has some fatal disorder, etc. (forgot name; watched parts of it between naps on a JAL flight)

And these are only the ones I've watched. There must be many more.

... Why so many productions around the idea of a "doomed character who copes"? Doesn't the theme get a bit depressing after a while?

My friend's girlfriend, from ITALY, came into Canada. From Canada, she cam accross the border into Buffalo, NY without any kind of visa's or documents to get in. Is that the same across the board for all countries? Specifically, is that OK for people from the Philippines. From my understanding, they don't need any kind of documents as they have a passport. I mean, when I go abroad, I am just asked at the airport for my U.S. Passport and that's about it. Any answer, or where to find the correct answer would be greatly appreciated. Especially for those who have had family/friends from the Philippines visit them here in the United States.

I will be going to the Philippines in May. I need to know a good place to stay that won't dent my wallet. I stayed at the Diamond Manila Hotel last August and would like something nice like that but not so expensive? Any ideas or suggestions. Or any beautiful locations to visit in the P.I. that won't be to expensive but have lots to do and Air Conditioning.

Both countries are known elsewhere for being "expensive", but which is more expensive and in what areas?

And why is Japanese food in the UK so bloody expensive? I can get a wonderful meal at an Italian restaurant for a reasonable £7-8, but a meal of comparable quality and quantity would cost £15-20 at a Japanese restaurant!

And the nearest Korean restaurant is a ruddy 40 miles away in Glasgow (I live in Edinburgh). So add £9 for a return train ticket to the cost of the meal >_

A little about myself:
I'm Chinese British. I was born here (down south in Kent to be exact) but I lived in Taiwan for the last 10 years, and I only returned (to Edinburgh) last September.

So what do I feel about prices in Edinburgh?
- Rent... fair enough, lower than what we paid in Taiwan.
- Food... Italian is reasonable, but Asian is too bloody expensive!! Asian food isn't supposed to be so expensive!!
- Everything else... not noticeably different from what I'm used to.

i recently asked if it is worth it to learn japanese by using romanji....and quite a few people have gave me some negative comments.

Remember when you were little we learned to speak by listening to what our parents and siblings said.
this is what iam doing with romanji i listen and practice till i get it right and then iam fluent with the phrases a have practiced.
why has so many people put me down by not learning the symbols with speaking?
i didnt learn to read till i was five but i spoke fluently well before that.

iam eager to communicate and talk with a diffrent language because i love diffrent cultures.

it is a shame why people put me down.

what is wrong with what iam doing?


thanks...and happy new year!

I need to withdraw £2,000 from a UK bank account in China, however the ATM machines here limit the amount you can withdraw in one day to £400 and charge you for each withdrawl. Therefore I want to know if it is possible to go into a bank and withdraw the money all in one go using my Visa Electron card. I have looked into Western Union transfers and travellers cheques, none of which are an option. So would it be possible to go into a branch eg. Bank of China and withdraw the money all in one go?

Why is it that Taiwan's sewage system cannot process paper, and people have to put the used toilet paper in a bin/can beside the toilet?
