Hey, maybe you can meet Eddie Teach.  Also Habakkuk and little Habakkuk live there I think.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

80 yen to the dollar  :hmm:
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

80 to 1 is excellent. It was like 105 to 1 when I came to Korea, that's a huge improvement.

I've been assured again and again that Japan isn't as expensive as its reputation dictates. That they have 100 yen shops puts things kind of in perspective.
We shall see.

When I was there, even at about 90 yen to the $, I saw a number of items, also available in the U.S., at significantly higher prices.

Also, and more a sting to tourists, many of the hotels (I think maybe more the non-western Ryoken-style), charge a per-person rate comparable to what we'd charge over here for one room (with as much as 2-3 people).
