    If it's not Bruce Wayne, then I have no idea. Never really watched the show all that much, to be honest.

    Bruce Wayne... duh! Oh wait, I'm not supposed to say, right? Defeats the whole superhero thingamajig. Just forget you read that. Go on: forget it!

    Yeah, all of that stuff and more. I'm Batman, after all.

    You should be daring a do something you haven't seen before... says the person who would never do that herself.

    It was just me originally, then people started suggesting avatars, and I just went with it. It's turned out to be surprisingly popular, given I keep a relatively low profile on the forum. Since the forum-wide suggestions have been in my signature, I've never gone a week where I've needed to decide for myself. Many weeks, I have to reject some because I've either never seen the show in question or don't like it. I feel like Simon Cowell at times!

    How serendipitous! Ah, well, then I'll probably forget I suggested it by then and be pleasantly surprised.

    I do love that you do this, by the way.

    I was afraid it was going to be something obscure, but I did watch TMNT when I was a lot younger. Weirdly, I was having a conversation with a friend about the show, and we couldn't remember who the villain was. Now I know!

    Unfortunately, it won't be next week's... in fact, you're going to have to wait another 3 before you see him next to my name. Got a big backlog!

    March/April should be really nice for the weather. I wouldn't recommend going as far north as Hokkaido where I was living for a while since it won't quite be spring there, but in Tokyo it would be pretty nice, I think. Depending on where you go you might even get to see the cherry blossoms, which is always beautiful to see.

    So Tokyo, as you might know, has a lot of little areas for different kinds of shopping: Shinjuku, Harajuku, Akihabara, and so on. It has a lot of nice parks, too, like Yoyogi. Tokyo would be great if you just want to go and see a lot of different things. It's also close enough to Yokohama and other places in case you're there long enough to travel away from the center of the city.

    If you want to see historical and cultural stuff then Kyoto seems like a place to go. All the temples, castles, and the old imperial palace are there, plus you can take a subway to another old capital, Nara (not that I know much about that area), and the second biggest city in Japan, Osaka, which has plenty of shopping and other things that Tokyo has.

    If you want to see nature then maybe somewhere in Kyushu would be good. I spent a week in Kagoshima, at the southern end of the island, in spring, and it's got this semi-tropical/tropical landscape which is amazing. There are also lots of old-ish buildings (not old, like historical old, but still interesting) and in Kagoshima itself there's a monstrous sleeping volcano that spews ash everyday. Kyushu also has lots of onsen (natural hot springs) and those are one thing that I love, just sitting in the different baths and relaxing with all the natural surroundings.

    And if you want to go for food then you can get that anywhere, though each area has specialties.

    If I do go - and it depends on funding - it'll be in March/April time, so hopefully the weather will not be too bad. In terms of stuff to do, I was sorta hoping you'd be able to fill me in on that stuff. I know basic info about Tokyo, and that there are temples in Kyoto, but not much else really...

    Going to Japan? I recommend not going in August unless it's up north. I'd say that any large city is good. I've been to Sapporo, Tokyo, Yokohama, Kagoshima, Kyoto and Osaka now and they were all very nice. Of course, I enjoy shopping a little more than sightseeing so big cities are what draw me.

    And I did go to some interesting places. Kyoto/Osaka have some amazing temples, castles, and palaces to see. What were you looking to do with your maybe-holiday?

    Did you go anywhere interesting? I might be going sometime next year, so any cool places to go would be most appreciated.
