					<description>Now I know the answer to my original question. I was asking about the fireworks display mentionedon the Metropolis website and I finally picked up what it was. It was the Tokyo Bay Fireworks. I believe that they were on Saturday night. Did anyone go tot his fireworks display? It is supposed to be the biggest in Japan. It runs for an hour. Wow!! That is much better than in Australia. On New Years Eve they show them on TV and they probably only go for 10 minutes or so. So this is a very unnormal fireworks display. I heard them say on the Metropolis Podcast that this display takes people like a whole year to plan. Double Wow!! Must be an amazing sight!!:smile::smile:</description>

					<description>Danielさん,

Metropolis is a free magazine. Which is why it’s about 40% straight advertising and another 40% advertising masked as articles.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't actually live in Japan so I don't know much about the actual magazine but I do like the people on the podcast that they have on the site. Kamasami Kong sounds like a nice guy and Susie too.</description>
