    Oh I would love a trip to Tokyo. Someday. The Holdovers was great! I loved the LOOK of the movie, whatever filter or film they used. I miss that look from older movies. And Small Things Like These would have a great annual Christmas read. I've been wanting to get her new one.

    I have a friend who works in a cinema and she likes to watch those film festival type of films, so it's not always easy to find stuff to watch together, because generally I prefer something with a happy ending or am in general more of a SciFi/fantasy/superhero/action/thriller movie person who likes to escape reality through that sort of media, rather then explore the dark and hurtful sides of humanity, but on occasion we find movies to watch together that are more the realistic type that I can stomach and The Holdovers was actually one we watched together recently! Call Me by Your Name was another one of those movies we enjoyed together and I remember you liking that one as well.

    Love love LOVE Small Things Like These. Cillian Murphy plays the lead in the film yet to come out. Claire Keegan is the master when it comes to less is more in the written word. Foster is also a beautiful read and an equally beautiful film - An Cailin Ciuin (The Quiet Girl). If you want more of the topic at the centre of Small Things, watch the film Philomena (will have you sobbing 😢).

I want to get a skin treatment in Korea because 1) Korea and 2) they are so expensive in the US, but figuring out where to go/what to ask for is a little intimidating!

    Hi Cari, not a question about a new neighborhood but could you maybe let us in on how to plan weekend travel in Korea? I'll be in Seoul for a month in May and I'd love to go see a few things outside of Seoul, but I wonder how to best book train & bus tickets, how much in advance you should do it, if it's hard to find airbnb or hotel rooms last minute etc. Here in Germany for example, it's the best to book everything as much in advance as possible, because it's cheaper that way. Your insight would be highly appreciated! 😊 thanks!
