It would be way cool to tackle Japan together. We never did do that smash-and-grab of Paris. At least I'm pretty sure I'll get to Japan in 2007, if the Worldcon bid wins. (Reminder to self to presupport it.)
I would so, so love to be able to understand Japanese movie dialogue entirely without the subtitles. (Bless DVDs that give you the option.) That, and being able to read Japanese short stories in the original, are my basic goals, aside from just enjoying twisting my brain around such a rich and alien way of communicating and thinking.
