Nice to meet you

[Son Kokujin]

Greetings, everyone.
Name's Son Kokujin. I live in Okinawa , Japan, but born & raised in Chicago. I love Sci Fi, Zoids, Street Custom Cars, good hip hop, and cheeseburgers and cold drinks.

In Chicago do you now have a choice of cold drink with your cheeseburger or can you still only get Pepsi?



(I used to think that skit was hilarious....until the first time I went to the Japanese-staffed grill at the Yokosuka base bowling alley).

Did a 2 year tour at a Navy spy base near Fukuoka 70-72 on Kyushu . I was temped to live there , but my love of guns and hunting drew me back to Maine. Even after all these years , I still miss Japan.
