Hi Stimpy,

What prompted you to move to Japan??  Is your family from there?  A coworker 
of mine married a lady from that area (don't know which though, but 
oriental) and moved over there for a short while.  He LOVED it.  Though I 
love the culture and food, if I had to choose another culture to move into 
it'd be either French or England.  I know not too off from the US in many 
cases, but still different.
