MASA!!!! Thought you fell off the Earth!
Remember our meeting in Japan?
How the heck are you? Your wife? Kids ever?
Guess what, I come to Japan in a few weeks, on way to Singapore. Layover only. Short.
But......a few years ago I landed in Nagoya, rented a car and spent 9 adventurous days
driving through The Japanese Alps to the north. Talk about adventure! No English/I speak no Japanese.
No reservations. No English map. No English road signs. No non-Japanese. No destination. No plan. NO plan at all except to point the car towards mountains and go! Wow! One of the BEST
Trips of my life.......... I've always wanted to repeat!
I remember happening upon the largest Wasabi farm in the world. 100's of school buses. 1000's of school kids. Wasabi in this, Wasabi in that.......all amazing to tour and taste.
Drove all the way up to beautiful Noto Peninsula. Talked with my hands and body language. Befriended the Lighthouse Keeper's family. Stayed with them. Met a cauliflower farmer up there. Helped in the fields. WOW, do cauliflowers EXPLODE in growth just before harvest!!!!!!!
Never met a non- Japanese tourist all 9 days!
Loved it.
Long ago, i loved Japanese CATS. So different than any other show seen anywhere!
Post a fun note here which everyone will enjoy or.........
Send me an email. Same email address. If you've lost it, I'll PM you. So nice to see your name here again!
