They seem to say the same thing. All I got out of these 2 sentences is that "Ummmm, I went to Shinjuku but I went straight right(yo)." But why use to go 2 or 3x in the sentence?

It is just a fad right now. Sony has some good products - their TVs and their Video Cameras are quiet good. I use their Walkman phone to listen to JPOD on the bus so if it wasn't for them I wouldn't be able to listen to you guys :) I am sorry Peter-sensei,

I love walking down side streets and hidden spots around whatever town I am in. You can learn so much just by taking a long walk.A good one is from Ikebukuro to Komagome. There is a couple of hidden gems (in terms of temples and parks just waiting to be discovered). BTW guys great work with the expressions on the PDF today Marky
