Wish we could have hung out.

Talks with my boss, my coworkers on the bus, the attendants at the gym, the waitstaff... and that's pretty much it. Well, there was; I just didn’t mention the details.

Thanks Turner! Good to hear from you again!

It's funny though, I always thought there were so many foreigners in Kagoshima city, but perhaps that's because I lived in the innaka where there really were almost no other non-Japanese! The southern islands there are stunning! Kyushu has some of the most gorgeous greenery I've ever seen. And hiking in Kirishima was amazing. Natsukashii!!!

I do have a request if possible. During my tour of duty in Japan I fathered a son. His name is Joji Matano, born November 1960 in Kagoshima-shi. His mother lived at 420 Shioya Cho Kagoshima-shi, Kagoshima-ken. For years I have been trying to locate him without success. Is there anyone I can contact in Kagoshima who may be able to try and locate him? I would appreciate any assistane. Best regards, Good Morning:
