I personally haven’t I would like to go before I leave this world. Might do it as a bucket list thing when I am older.

I have never been to Japan, although I did have an opportunity when I was 19, recently joined the Air Force, but chose to "stay close to my (so called) family and friends here in the States. I didn't discover anime until 2002, well after I had ended my Tour of Duty (1999), but I'm sure if I had been exposed to anime before my entrance into the USAF, I most certainly would have jumped on it.

I do regret not exploring the world while I had the opportunity to do so.

Today, I'm too poor, broke, and broken to really travel, and as I've grown older, I've lost that itch to travel really anywhere. The highlight of my day is returning to my comfortable home--apartment, cooking dinner, and goofing off on the Internet.

I experience Japan through social media, internet buddies, and of course anime and the food. When I was in college I took three semesters of Japanese Language, however, because that was in like 2004, I've forgotten most of the vocabulary I learned. You know what they say, if you don't use it, you lose it!
