Movies to Reality

It is a rainy day in Iwakuni and a rare weekend day that I am actually in town with nothing to do. So I decided to rent movies from the library and I finally watched Lost in Translation. When Bridget and I were in Tokyo we went for drinks at the Park Hyatt, where the movie was filmed. We too were surrounded by cigar smoke and serenaded by some Jazz music. We also sat next to the large table that is in the movie. The funny thing about our experience was getting there, we get into a cab in the pouring rain and asked to go to "Park Hyatt" (the only Park Hyatt in Tokyo) and the cab driver was sooooooooooo confused and after a few seconds he was like Park Hyatt Shinjuku?!?!? I guess we tried to make it too simple!
