Oh you guys are soooooooo nasty. Just scrolling down the responses so I didn't get to you guys that night. As a matter of fact, I stayed at the Hilton Narita and then had to attend a congress in Kobe. Then back to Tokyo where I stayed at the Royal Park Hotel. Very nice. While I was there, I met up with a baseball team from Fresno California who were just about to travel to Osaka to play the Japanese team. These kids were about 16-17 years old and evidently the tournament has been going on for about 20 years. Here's a Jim Robinson ping for Fresno. Anyone know how the team fared? I also spoke to three of the coaches and referred them to FR. They had no idea Fresno was so important besides the farmlands.
I left Japan for Singapore and then India and returned 8/21 to the USA, so sorry for my delayed response.
I would think you guys would have a bit more patience, living in such a wonderful country. I'll be back in December and will ping you for sushi/sashimi if you want.
