Here are some pictures of our wheelin' we did last saturday. We started off at a place called Onna Point. Then lost one truck and got another one on the way to a place called the golf course. Nothing too serious, but enjoy the pictures!

lol well uhh.... you know how they always say "there's always one..." yeah, I was "that guy". there was a mud hole that used to be really deep and no one wanted to go through it so i figured i'd be the test dummy. come to find out, it was still really deep.

What branch are you in?

 

[giguchan]

Hey there,
I 'm not. Civilian here. just love to travel. I decided to go to Japan a few years ago because i have never been there and fell in love with the place ever since.

I go back to visit when i can, she come here(NY). we have been doing the LDR thing ever since.

I was wondering if you were in the service or another American who chose Japan in which to live.

 

[jonwilly2]

I only ask cuz the Y on the plates I think thats for US military.

Giguchan, claps to you I dont know how you do it I have trouble with 54 miles away let alone other side of the world.

 

[giguchan]

Hey there,
you wanna know what? i did not realize that it was you who was asking.. i thought it was the guys over there!
Forgive me...

I had an Idea they were in the service. I have never been in the service- wish i had though... feel like i missed out on something.

I get a lot of that... A LDR of this distance is very tiresome. I mean we have skype, INET, web chatting and a lot of other ways to communicate this makes it easier. Can you imagine if this was the 70's? Can you imagine the Phone bills? I'd be writing a lot more letters thats for sure.

She's a great woman that also helps problem is the next step..

I love to Travel so that helps it go down much easier...

Thanks for the support

my dad bought phone cards to use the pay phone to call Fl for the Bucs NY football game a few years back The card was $20 and would only last 5 minutes a call in Tokyo

 

[giguchan]

that was a smart idea... probabally save a few dollars in the process too!
Although the phone cards there can be kinda expensive too... i find that i rent a cellphone or bring mine.. and dont use it.. just for emergencies anything i need to tell people i can tell them thru email..

 

[smokey66]

yeah, im in the military. Im USAF. Y plates are for Americans stationed over here. Japanese people have kanji plates.

 

[giguchan]

Hey there,
Thats what i kind of thought... good deal! it's nice to have some "home" with you where ever you go..

They have some pretty good Bass lakes there too!
