About
I enjoy looking for something I've always liked, such as old books and clocks. I also sell things that I no longer need to make some extra space at home. So I'm not a professional dealer of any kind and I'm just an ordinary person who enjoys shopping/selling small things.

When The Last Sword Is Drawn (DVD 2005)
This is one of the best and most beautiful samurai movies I've ever seen. Around the end of the samurai regime (Tokugawa Shogunate), 'Shinsen-gumi' was formed. It was a group of specialy trained samurai and mainly based in Kyoto, and was operating like the security police of the City, particularly targetted any attempt against the samurai regime of that time. Now the time has changed, in the early Meiji Period, soon after the samurai period, Japan was becoming rapidly westernised both socially and politically, and an old man, Saito, ex-Shinsen-gumi member, looks back over his past as a radical but ambitious samurai, and recalls his new Shinsen-gumi colleague from North Japan, Yoshimura, who had a very strong accent from Northern Japan. The story is about the life of Yoshimura, and the conflict that Saito's felt for Yoshimura.
I have a feeling that Tom Cruise's 'Last Samurai' is based on this kind of antagonism between Samurais and the new ruling power, although the movie wasn't too historically made. 'When The Last Sword Is Drawn' shows a beautil part as well as a brutal side of the society of that time based on history. It's purely Japanese which means that you may notice subtle details including the way 'kimoto' is properly worn and ladies walk absolutely elegantly (unlike Memoirs of a Geisha!). This is a very cultural and historical film and an emotional rollercoaster! Enjoy it!

ADATA 8GB 1Rx8 PC4-2400T-SA0-11 DDR4 SODIMM SDRAM RAM AO1P24HC8T1-BSFS
I purchased it for my laptop (VivoBook by Asus). I imagine many models of laptop will take these memory modules. This doubled the physical RAM, so now I have a plenty of extra memory space for my daily work.

Dirty Dancing 2
0 of 1 found this helpful I thought this movie was more about salsa (cuban casino) dance rather than a simple love story, and it shows far less amount of dancing scenes than the viewers might expect from the title. Some deleted scenes, which are available in the DVD, contain some great dancing scenes and some important dialogues that explan what's going on, and I have no idea why they had to delete those scenes?? The scenes in the local night club in Havana were disappointing to me, because the music wasn't really traditional Cuban music or salsa - modern disco music and the Cuban Revolution period don't go together.. The two main charathers danced very well though.
