Just wanted to say hello to everyone from Japan. We made the trip,which is tough on old people. Since we are 14 hours a head of you I am intereseted to see what time this post. Isn't there some way to take advantage of this time difference, like betting on a horse race somewhere?

It is actually 3:15 PM, March 30th here in Hakatajima, Japan. Actually in Japan it is 1515 o'clock as they use military time.

For you engineers, this is the number one suspension bridge in the world, which is next to my son's island where he lives. CJB the eating has been great and interesting and that is an octopus not a kite. ![](http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e47/heybud77/P1000117.jpg)

Did you buy the Octopuss for lunch?

Hey Bud! Nothing like dried octopus. Makes the sake taste better. Have fun.

I still suggest beef and rice wine or tuna and rice wine. Have fun and send some more pics. Do they have any good beer to go with that octopus - you would need a bunch of it to wash down that cephalopod .

Wow, Larry, there really IS a huge time difference. It's Monday, March 30th at 8:09 am here.
Sounds like you're having a great time. Keep the photos coming.

I found a Sunil sized can of Asahi, which is really good beer. By the way the exchange rate is 98 yen per dollar. ![](http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e47/heybud77/P1000108.jpg)

Friends of my son's took us fishing today. We caught about 10 of these before a storm hit and we had to come in. We believe them to be rock fish ![](http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e47/heybud77/P1000166.jpg) ![](http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e47/heybud77/P1000165.jpg)

Most all the fishing boats I saw had this little sail on the back to act as a trolling motor ![](http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e47/heybud77/P1000167.jpg)
