If You Want to Watch a Movie at the Theaters in Japan

It's best to think twice:

a) Round-trip train ticket to the nearest city that has a movie theater is 960円 (~$9.60)

b) The movie ticket itself costs 1800円 (~$18.00)

Thus, it technically costs about $27.60, per ticket, to watch one movie. So I better know that I have to see the movie at the theater. Otherwise there's surfthechannel.com or iTunes. Because the local video/DVD store only has Region 2 DVDs (which I cannot play on my computer).

God-damn-bless the fools who invented region codes.
That's all I have to say.
For now.
