Went to Mystic Koi . . .

Bill, when you get tired of her, send her to me. I love Chags and she's gorgeous.

Your right Bill, take me away from gosanke and I am lost. She is very nice, how long is she and how old?

Mystic Koi is a first class operation with first class people in charge. Ran into Shawn in Japan last November and heard lots of flattering comments about him from the breeders and dealers in the area. These are good people to do business with.

Ray,

Thanks for the kind words.

Right... Shawn told me about the good times he had with you and Brits over at Nomele, and later that evening (morning???) at the "IPod" bar!

Kind Regards,
Bill

Hi Bill,
Well, he is younger he might remember more detail than me about the after hours bar. I barely remember something about a drinking game. I am sure we had a great time but I paid dearly for it the next day. I sure remember driving around the mountains the next day after only a few hours sleep determined not to get sick and somehow barely managing to hold back. Later I checked my camera and I had taken about 100 shots of my shoes at the bar? WHat the heck was I thinking????

One of the things that I learned is not to keep up to your hosts drinking warm Sake especially after travelling for 24hr . So you have my sympathy . One has to be carefull in Japan to make sure you have no alchol in ones system if you rent a car as there is 0 tolerence now for drivers . If a driver has had one beer the fine is $10,000 for the driver and $2000 for each passanger . If intoxicated it is automatic Jail sentence and very harsh at that .
Regards
Eugene

LOL... too funny! You had us all rolling over here!

Eugene... exactly! However, these guys were on foot, as the "hang outs" are all within walking distance of the hotels.

Kind Regards,
Bill

That was the idea, since I was sure Bill had fans out there that hadn't toured his shop -- or hadn't seen it recently.

I've been saying that for years
