I spent two years in Japan, Tom, back in the 50s. I fell in love with
the people, the countryside, and the food....... uhhhhhh except for
the only pizza in Yokohama, found at the Marco Polo in China Town. It
was ok except for the "mystery meat". I lived on osabba (sp), fried
rice, noodles, crab cakes with wasabi relish, and grilled chicken (at
least that's what I think it was). And sake, lotsa sake, preferably
warm. And suchi. Wish I could go back some day.

And Kobe Steak. In those days you could get a Kobe Steak at good
restaurants in Yokohama and Tokyo, and it was only about $12. It's
probably $120 today. Cut it with a fork, and juicy, juicy, juicy.
Nothing in the States can compare.

And cab drivers..... give them $1 and they let you drive! Right hand
drive on the left side of the road.

And the women....... Some of the most beautiful little creatures in
the world. "watashiwa a-not-eye-o eye-ishi-mus"
