Wish I could be there with you guys - it'd be worth the price of admission to see his brain break over a particularly and flagrantly odd bit of J-culture.
For some reason I got this imagery in my head of you guys making some friends, and somehow finding a Japanese-subtitled version of The Quiet Man, and generally having a blast with the cross-cultural MST3King that will take place. (Remember that story of mine about my Japanese girl friend and the first time she saw Bugs Bunny cartoons? Yeeeeaaaaaahhhhh...
