Esther, have fun in Japan! Which city are you going to?
I'm joining a tour group, Kiseki. This will be my second time in Japan with the same tour company. I had so much fun last time and the group was small enough to not be that conspicuous (I think we failed

). Cities along the route include Tokyo, Nikko, Sendai, Hiraizumi, Naruko Onsen, Niigata, and Sado Island. Really looking forward to Sado as I love the sound of taiko drums.
My very good college friend is from Osaka. She has lived in the States around 20 years now, but still thinks of going home to Japan someday. Her American husband has to consciously duck each time he goes through a door when they visit her folks.
Do you live close to any of the places I mentioned?
