I suspect I probably did a great deal to reinforce foreigner stereotypes vis-a-vis alcohol, although I was always a happy drunk. Still that's what they get for putting all those vending machines everywhere.

I have been there a dozen times, never for very long though. The wife has said she wants to go back there for a while after she has the second kid. I may follow or I may not.

I have no idea what I'd do over there. I have lawyered and done time in daddy's gemstone business. I don't believe that either of those two towering corpora of knowledge will get me a gig without some pretty good Japanese.
