Greetings from the Japan Alps satine san !! As you wonder into the muggy summer of Tokyo with all its excitement, pleasure, and hardship, I wish you all the luck. I agree, stay in close contact with this big world-wide happy family that has interest in Japan, and you can learn a lot.
Whenever you get fed up with the big banana (Tokyo) take a slow train out into the countryside, and revive yourself.
Oh, and don't forget to post when you can, where you have interests, and join in with all of us in sharing and learning !! See you 'round !!
