Ya, I live there in Hachioji and here in Southern California. Split my time between the two. Family is in Japan though. Wife has always wanted to take us to Nara, so it's on the list. Will take your advice and hike up the hills. Thanks.
Oh, and I tweeted your post out too.
Thanks a lot, must be a nice lifestyle split between those two places. I certainly can't imagine you get bored too often
It is and it isn't. It's tough being away from the wife and kids for 2 months at a time, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
