Hi, NeverGG :D

You mentioned you got some scale figures, which I though you avoided. Which is your favorite scale figure? What do you have from Alter?

What other places/events would you like to visit in Japan? Comiket? Don't forget Good Smile Cafe

Camera body wise, 60D or Rebel T3i?

What's the grand sum of money you've spent on your figures?

TBH I spent so much time working on eSports for the first two years that I barely did any traveling at all. I really enjoyed visiting Kwangahli for the PL finals, but I spend a lot of time in Children's Gran Park in the evenings. It's really pleasant to just wander around watching the fountain show (they use a light show, music and co-ordinated water jets to put on a show every 30mins-ish.) during the warmth of the evening when not many people are around. I really recommend visiting the parks in Seoul, as well as the Royal Palace park and any more rural temples.

Right now, my perfect day would consist of getting on a plane, flying to Tokyo, spending a horrific amount of money in shops like Mandarake, going to some kind of Tokusatsu live event, and then heading home the next morning. I'm planning a vacation to Japan with my Mum in the near future :D

I just googled some of the places you mentioned, they look fantastic (google images showed a Kwangahli bridge that looked beautiful at night, reminds me alittle of the rainbow bridge in Japan).
Childrens Grand Park looks great also, it's a zoo/garden/amusement park?
That fountain show sounds pretty cool too.

Thanks for the recommendations because I don't really know where I would go should I visit Korea (which is why I asked your favourite place to visit).

I hope you have a great time with your mum in Japan when you guys go on the trip :D

Hm...what's the point of collecting things? I mean, wouldn't it be better to save money to buy your big lens back/buy a new one? When you buy a new item for your collection, you will probably feel happy for that moment but after a day or so, I kinda doubt that feeling prevails. And so, after some time, you will set out again to buy something new which will make you happy. But something more...practical would prove more useful and it will make you feel good several times as well.
That's what I think at least.

I just stumbled across here and wanted to say a big thank you for all the various BW related things you've organized, no one who's been keeping in touch with BW would forget you =)

As for questions, I've been wondering how you ended up in Korea and if you plan to live there the rest of your life or if you've thought about uprooting and moving elsewhere?

Do you have a photo album or something online of all the SC:BW related pictures that you took? :o

Well I don't really need that kind of lens any more since I have no plans to go back into reporting any time soon. As for the point of collecting - well for me it's less about an 'I've gotta catch them all' type mentality, and more about having a haven to come back to. Filling my room with cute items makes me feel comfortable and 'at home.' even though I spend a lot of time alone here due to not having family around etc. I also own pretty much all the practical goods I need (video camera, net-book, my 5D etc.) I would like a PMP and a better mp3 player sometime in the near future though.
