well, it was the best 3 days of my life ... would love to return and go shopping!! ... in fact, actually my office is decorated with some of my trinkets when I was there ... January 1984 ...

I've read about "How to do business in Japan" ... interesting!

another friend was stationed there - and sent me a hand-stitched PURPLE silk kimono for my birthday one year ... and it is hanging on the wall - displayed as art ... not to wear (except in emergency situations!!) LOL
