I remember you saying exactly 'where' but I may be remembering this wrong... was it Atsugi?
I may be building this coming Olympics up too much in mind... but I have good reason for that. Having been to Japan... several parts of the country... experiencing Japan not merely from the perspective of being 'among' them but also WITH them, (guest of our first foreign exchange student)... I think the Japanese do most things better than any other country. Not only the 'kindest' people on earth but the most talented as well. I'll go out on a limb here, but I think it's not very far out, and predict that the Japanese will provide the most eye-catching, imagination stirring, phenomenal opening and closing ceremony ever and that their extravaganza will NOT be topped for several Olympic games to come. - JamesJM
