When I go to Japan, eveyone asks what Ichiro (Japanese Player for the Seattle Mariners) is like in real person.<BR/><BR/>Ironically there is/was another Japanese player on the Seattle Mariners, named Sasaki, and I actually did meet him once, we were part of a group that went out drinking and signing at Karaoke bar. But no one ever asks about him, it's all about Ichiro. hrm.<BR/><BR/>Take Care,<BR/>PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1767713885443036882.post-15936857161176699412007-10-13T11:13:00.000-04:002007-10-13T11:13:00.000-04:00have a relaxing weekend dave.have a relaxing weekend dave.heiresschildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02769921885594197625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1767713885443036882.post-53868162572350722422007-10-12T20:11:00.000-04:002007-10-12T20:11:00.000-04:00dave, I would have gotten up after i shook my head...dave,<BR/><BR/> I would have gotten up after i shook my head from the shock and went to buy that lottery ticket.

It was all rather fantastic but as Becky says it is a small world.<BR/>Also, having always lived in Western Canada you can imagine my surprise seeing one of my regular customers on the same flight out of Toronto and to Jamaica, a few years back.

When I was relaxing on the island of Zanzibar off the coast of Tanzania, I found out that the resort owners were not only from my home town but they were also Christians on an island totally dominated by Muslim. I loved how the world shrunk right down to my graspable size right then & there!Becky Wolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13328240336833495892noreply@blogger.com
