I had an oppurtunity to work at a famous restaurant in NYC called the "Gramercy Tavern". I was offered the head bartender position. I had to reluctantly turn it down and move bask to Boston from NYC.

Question 2

I have an ex-girlfriend that I haven't talked to for about five years. We were living in NYC together and had at one time been engaged. We broke up because I had to return to Boston and help my ailing father. We communicated a little bit on Facebook, but i quit my Facebook account and I haven't spoken to her since.I don't think that we will get back in touch.

I had a ticket for Nirvana's last concert with the lead singer Kurt Cobain. He commited suicide shortly after this concert and I will regret not going forever.

Question 4

I recently bought my son Jun a toy dinosaur from the Jurrasic World serires. It was about 10,000¥ from Amazon. He was excited at first, but now only a month later he has lost interest in the dinosaur. I lost 10,000¥ plus shipping cost. Hopefully he will be interested in dinosaurs again.

Question 5

I recently watched "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Krystal Skull"(2008). It was set in Central America and it was really bad. Harrison Ford is a little too old to potray Indiana Jones. It was on Netflix and I was bored so I watched it.
