Is Tai-Pan up to shogun standards?
I'll write some about myself but only if it is asked of me.

The made-for-TV series is awesome. My girlfriend got it for me for my birthday and we really loved it, especially the cheesy sets. However, the entire show was filmed in Japan, and all of the Japanese people only spoke Japanese (except for a couple.) So it definitely feels authentic.
The hair is just downright silly though.
And yeah, I love Tai-Pan. Shogun is more linear and easier to follow but Tai-Pan really gets your noodle in a twist.

So that was random and unexpected.

Nice, yeah, I got that $400 too in my first year. Bursary, right?
It recommended me to sent a thank you letter to my donor, but they never said who it was. So I never sent one, and I never got a random bursary again. I think it's pretty random though.
