To my horror, the shrimp (brown little thing in the center) was still moving when this sushi boat was served.

While on top of Mt. Fuiji, I found this odd little thing buried under the ground and covered with some snow. Guesses by me and my sister include a marker and something geological to measure the volcano.

It is rare for a TV series to connect to such a wide range of audiences and even rarer for musicals. In the same genre as High School Musical which caters to a much younger crowd, Glee is a tougher series based on an Ohio High School Glee Club where kids are tackling issues like popularity, individuality,teen pregnancy and other Disney unworthy cliches. With songs ranging from pop, r&b to country, the ensemble cast of characters and voices is simply amazing. The first volume of songs coming from the show is definitely a must have and will keep you holding on for the next one.

Among the more enjoyable tracks in the first volume is the unofficial theme song “Don’t Stop Believing”, an excellent rendition of “Defying Gravity” and the much loved anthem “Taking Chances”.
