isn't Kobe Beef big over there? I suspect you guys will be eating a lot of fish. Both Mrs. CI and I enjoy shooting our handguns out in the back 40 away from the houses. The sound bothers our old dog so we don't do it on our property but go up on some private land I have permission to hunt. I would miss shooting and hunting but do think it would be cool to visit Japan but I doubt I could live anywhere "happily"other than here on the Island.
