I'm fine with both...though I did get seasick once. Unpleasant sensation. I prefer airplane. I spent 16 hours on a plane yesterday...at least the seats were good...
Lol.
Childhood relations are probably the easiest way to make a story, which is probably why Gosho uses them so frequently. It makes sense that everyone's liked/loved someone at a certain point in their life and it's easier to work with the past rather than right now since that would mean taking a detour from the main plotline.
Bad? I only got three hours of sleep. While that isn't too bad, it means that I'm seeing black dots again. They went away for a few weeks, maybe even a month, but now they're back and worse than ever.
