last night peter and i went over to cindy and ryan's apartment to hang out. cindy had brought me back a dvd(air hostess) from hk ages ago, but we never got around to meeting up for me to pick it up until now.

while hanging out in their apartment peter noticed that they had season four of the simpsons. we didn't even know that was out in taiwan, so today we went to guanghua in search of that.

we found it with no problem, but we also found that they have knocked down the price on the taiwan edition of thunderbirds so we splurged and picked up the whole series(in addition to season four of the simpsons). when it originally came out - it was rather pricey(basically i could mail order the region one version for less money). so i was happy to get it at a decent price. one neat thing about the set is that they contain postcards illustrating the insides of the ships used in the show:

i'm not sure if this was something just for the taiwan market or if it was the same in other countries. when amelie was released here on dvd it came with an envelope of polaroids of the garden gnome just like in the film. but i've been told that versions of this dvd in other countries didn't contain any postcards.
