When we lived on base, I was about 9 going on 10. This was the last year we lived at Hakata. Our house was a short walk through what I remember to be a tree?...
The one time I went swimming there, I did get a sting, a real shocker, but my friends said it must have been just a floating tentacle. I remember they used to...
We used to swim at Nagai Beach, which I believe was an American owned beach, and there used to be blue and orange jellyfish all over the surf every summer. I...

Didn't happen in Japan but it has a Japan connection. In 1963 we were on a vacation from Japan in Hawaii. I was stung, apparently by a Portuguese Man-O-War....

Just yesterday I had a long conversation with a late 30's engineer who just returned from a 2 year stint in Japan. He lived and worked in a town of 100,000...

Yea............it was nice living in the Land of the Rising Sun when you got 360 yen to the dollar. When I returned to Misawa in 85' it was 140 and falling....
Great story, Jim. Makes me want to get on a plane and fly to northern Japan. I was in Japan from 67-70,graduating from Johnson High School. Like you I really...
When I was in Japan in the late 60's, the yen was still 360 to the dollar. Now, I agree with Jim about needing a boat load of money to live in Japan. Just...
I'm with you, Ron. It was 360 to the dollar '65-'71 when I was there, too. When I went back for the summer of '72, it was 360 when I arrived in early June and...

I recall the movie you refer to. Disturbing to say the least. Brought back memories of "Stop, drop and cover?" or something like that? (did I get that right) I...
Thanks to who ever posted those pics of the base as it is now. Tower and hangars are still the same on Tachi West. Amazing since I was there 56 to 59....

It's been a while since we last said "Yokoso!" (welcome) to new members in our esteemed Japan Brats Yahoo! Group. What with summer and all, we've all been...
Anyone remember the Rock? I thought Yokota was noisy enough without going near the flight line, or maybe I was definitely NOT a distinguished visitor Recent...
Hi Nancy! Great to hear (read) from you again. Been too long. You really had me stumped about Kofu Rock. I saw the S&S headline about the Imperial airmen...
Hey shukka bruddah... Hi Rick! Now I'm really confused. Your name rang a bell...There was a Dick Larsh who worked for the Stars & Stripes, and you're also a...
