keokoi ,
Yes, I am here. So sorry I think i forgot to return your previous PM about visiting Sado.
I should be here on the 18th, that's a Monday. There is a very good chance I will be on mushigame/yamakoshi for the previous weekend helpiing out on some harvets.
I actually just got back from three days culling about 10 ponds of fry with Matsuda-san and 80-year old Matsuda-san Sr. Great hosts. Very educational and fun time, selecting the second cull Aigoromo was perhaps the most fun.
But I will be back in Aikawa (Sado) and at work on the 18th. The Aikawa festival is on the 19th, and I will be taking the afternoon off to break my back underneath a very heavy shrine that the men of the town carry arround all day, while being stuffed with drink by the rest of the community. It is a great traditional Japanese festival, if you can stay the extra day to see it. On Monday, I can meet you after work 4:30 -5:00 and show you arround, introduce you to your pick of an amazingly good sushi rewstaruant or an superb small town izakaya (drinking bar with perfectly prepared japanese food).
I think the Breeder's show is the last weekend of Ocober in Ojiya followed a week later by the All-Japan show on the first weekend of November. I should be at both of those too.
