Attention Please!

Published 8/13/2008 by Theo Hua in General

Attention Please! recounts the journey of a young tomboy, MISAKI Youko (played by UETO Aya), who strives to be a Cabin Attendant for Japan AirLines (JAL). Admittedly, I did not know if I could watch the show because the first episode was so over the top.  I had to pause the program half way and come back to it after a while.  I am glad that I did come back and watch the rest of the eleven part series.

I particularly enjoyed watching this drama because of the flying aspect.  I could identify with one of the characters' love of flying.  This will sound corny, but the show has motivated me to pursue a dream of mine - to become a private pilot.  This goal will take me a couple of years to achieve, but I really want to fly. 

As for the rest of the show, I found it to be endearing and Tarra enjoyed looking at the various JAL Cabin Attendant uniforms from JAL's past during the closing credits.  Here is a wiki page summarizing the show http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Attention_Please.  As for finding the show, one can find the show on CrunchyRoll or via BitTorrent.

 


So my wife and I went for a hike out to Wallace Falls State Park.  I had a lot of fun! Smile Granted, the hike started out okay, but when we arrived at the lower falls viewpoint, we realized how out of shape we both are. Frown We had a choice of two hiking trails, the Woody Trail and the Railroad Grade Trail.  The Woody trail was only 1.8 (2.9 Km) miles long, but the change in elevation is 450 ft (137m).  In the end, the falls were beautiful and well worth the hike and the blisters.

Here are pictures of the falls.
