Actually, from the heart is "kokoro de"; "kimochi" is, if you split it up, "ki" (meaning air or ambience or mood) and "mochi" which is a form of "moteru", meaning to hold. You could think of "kimochi" as "kibun ga moteru"; at least that worked for me when trying to translate between Japanese and Chinese.

Sorry for getting all ****, I hang around a lot of anime folks and took some Japanese in college also.

Can you bring back some Crab Juice? I heard they drink this stuff all the time over there.

I'm actually going to HK w/ my family in January, can you recommend any places to check out or things to do? (family oriented or otherwise )

One thing I know I'm getting there are some of these:
