We don't get to do the big trips so much any more, so it was awesome to do a really big trip like this.

I did see The Last Emperor. (Saw it when it came out. It was so popular here that it took three tries before I got in without it selling out. Ah, the days before online ticket buying and films only playing in one theatre. Don't miss 'em, really.) The cinematography was fantastic, but I remember thinking the story fell a bit flat, in spite of how fascinating the actual history was. Shall have to give it another try one of these days.
