I've flown Jetstar interstate twice, and to Japan last month. It's really not that bad at all. The seats are quite comfortable. It just felt like any other plane. The only downside to the international flight is paying an extra $30 each way for food. It was the worst tasting plane food I'd ever...

I was in Tokyo just last month and shopping is not expensive at all because shops are absolutely EVERYWHERE! If you're looking for teenage-early20's casual fashion, HARAJUKU's the place to be. The 109 building in Shibuya also has multi levels of trendy fashion for very reasonable prices...

Hey guys, if you have undertaken Japanese studies previously, you must take the placement test during o-week- http://languages.arts.unsw.edu.au/main/placetest.html be aware that they'd be pretty annoyed at you if you rock up after o-week saying you have not taken the test, unless you really...

yeah i know what you mean, but the context of the song isn't literally 'we are one person' but more of 'we are unified' anyway... hitori can mean alone/one person/by yourself

hahaha "bokura ha hitori" - we are alone

if you are after marks, then i guess your tutor may be adequate to equip you with speaking, listening, reading and writing skills. However, if you want to be able to speak like a native japanese, you need a lot of interaction with them and have a feel for the language rather than...

you can use ~te mimasu along with the ~tari ~tari form eg. pan wo tabetari ocha wo nondari shitemimasu.

i prefer the black one. very sleek... despite the fact that it'll get all fingerprinty not long after it comes outta the box

awesome, thanks! it's sucha HOT phone! gonna get it soon =)

i'm thinking of getting this phone, but i'm not sure whether i should get this one or the samsung D600 which is a bit older but known to be pretty decent. i'd read some reviews and i don't remember where i read this but apparently the KG800 doesn't have key backlighting? if this is the case, i...
