hey doc,

i really DIDN'T want this to devolve into a discussion of our porno
preferences, but... ha ha!

japanese girls are the best!

forgive me, i'm drunk and i'm off tomorrow to tokyo to meet three
japanese ladies (my hairdresser, my language exchange and my
workmate), before getting back to my japanese wife...

best wishes to you all,

gregg

p.s. i've been here nearly 7 years to the day, and i will never look
back! 

p.p.s. and back on topic - as far as i know i have the only frack rack
system in japan!
