I just read your post about the Dragon Gate monkey business. You know, I actually pass by there ALL the time. It's right beside the train tracks and I have to go near there for business reasons. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I am going to go there personally to ask questions.

Simply awesome. I'm considering joining a sunday class that is held here in Kobe by a friend of mine (he runs the only other Chinese gung-fu school here in Kobe). I have to say it again, your research into the origins of the internal arts is really good.

Ah God, you were probably on the Osaka loop line. That place has never made much sense to anyone. Even the people working there.
You should come back to visit sometime! You know that Japan is ever changing.
I've always wanted to try Taiji, because my Northern Dragon is considered an internal style near the end of training (although, in my opinion, it still is mostly an external art), could you tell me more about your style?

Ah, good old Japanese Hell - Narita airport. You should definitely explore a little more. The best cities are down where I live. I live in Kobe, so I can travel to Osaka,Nara,Kyoto,Shiga, and all of the regular places you want to see in under two hours of train travel.
I like going to Kyoto to visit the "samurai action village". It's a place where the shoot all the television shows that relate to "samurai period drama". I tattoo in Osaka and the castle there is just spell binding.

My wife (since she is Japanese) is stuck on the idea (like most Japanese) that the air in our apartment is bad and must be "changed" daily. This means she opens all of the windows for a while, which effectively makes my home livable for a penguin.
I'm condemning her, again, at the moment for doing this and asking if Japanese people know what pneumonia is.Yourself? How is buffalo grove? (I assume that is where you are living?)Much respect to a fellow CMA and to Taiji Quan. =)

It's a pleasure for me as well.
I'm actually from Germany! heh. I've lived around the world, so to say. Just enjoying life.Right now, here in Kobe, it's getting icy cold. Global warming my pale European ass.

Thank you for adding me as a friend.
PS-
BROCK SAMSON EATS NAILS AND SPITS OUT QUARTERS!
The one thing I missed about my time in the USA (while I lived there) was the good television programs that were on.
