Cape Number 7

Today I saw the movie Cape Number 7 (Hai Jiao Qi Hao) with my friend Lieh Fang, a reporter. The movie, which is Taiwanese, has been well-received here by critics and the general public alike for being very true to Taiwanese culture. In the story a discouraged rocker moves back from Taipei to his sleepy town of Henchung. As he takes on work there, his music and life slowly becomes intertwined with that of the people around him.
It's a slightly cheesy tale, but has some really funny moments, and struck a chord with me because a large part of the storyline has to do with Japan (not going to give away how).
Anyway, after the movie, the director and lead male actor came out on stage and answered questions.
Meanwhile, in school I am stuck in a type of educational limbo, wondering from class to class like an errant samurai.
