  1. Box office wise they do really well even Miyazaki's last film which was perhaps his weirdest. I remember one of the founders of Pixar said that they were modelling their studio on Ghibli which clearly was a winning strategy for them at least pre Disney😂.
  2. Well if you get a chance to finish it, its well worth the watch. Though if there is one Miyazaki film if you're only going to watch one I feel everyone should see it would be Spirited Away.
  3. It refers to Studio Ghibli whom one of the founders Hayao Miyazaki is considered one of the greatest film animators of all time. The clock itself was designed by Miyazaki and is stylistically similar one of his films Howl's Moving Castle. And yes the name does have something to do with hot desert wind as Miyazaki chose the name because he wanted to blow a wind of change in the anime industry😂.
  4. It is part of the Vivid Light festival. It is enchanting, there was one installation that depicted whales frolicking in the sea but only using lights and sound, it was mesmerising and my videos just don't do it justice. Some experiences only work in real life. Unfortunately though it only runs around end of May to beginning/middle of June.
  5. Nailed it. That was the answer I was looking for. Really great event during Vivid, this pics were from 2023.
  6. There are a few Botanical Gardens in Sydney so I will need a more specific answer😉.
  7. You're in the right city, now just need the place. The theme should be the clue🪴
  8. OK that was unexpected😂. Don't have a lot of pics right now so, here is a well known place but seen in a different light:
  9. There are smoky sakes so they can be reminiscent of whiskey and there are some non traditional brewers who do age sake in whiskey barrels like wine producers but overall it doesn't really taste like whiskey. It doesn't have malt or hops so it is much lighter. If you have a sake that is higher on the floral notes it can be herbaceous like gin but it won't have the bitter notes you get from gin. It is a bit sweetish but in a savoury way if that makes sense? Should also add the alcohol content is much lower than spirits.
  10. Unfortunately my visit coincided with it being closed, but it is definitely on the list if I ever return to Tokyo.
  11. Personally I love sake, I would even pick it over wine😂. If you get an opportunity for tasting you will find they come in quite a few flavours like wine. Usually I go for the lighter sakes that are floral and fruity.
  12. As a fan of Miyazaki films I made an effort to see the Ghibli clock😄. Did you get in time to see it play it's show?
