   No, but I've been there in the past.  I was just there at the end of   
   August, and man was it hot

   Go to San Francisco, and it's pretty much straight west from there.

   Not all of them.  I remember once, I ate a what my guidebook told me   
   was a great Italian restaurant in Hiroshima.  The first thing the   
   waitress brought out to me was plum mousse served in aspic.  Yecch.   
   This time around, though, I discovered an office building that   
   consisted entirely of okonomiyaki restaurants, and mmmmmm, it was   
   tasty.  In Hiroshima, they say that Osaka may have invented the   
   okonomiyaki, but Hiroshima perfected it.   
      
   Also, my wife loved these cute little fish-shaped waffle thingies   
   stuffed with sweet red bean paste we found in a department store in   
   Ginza.

   Some were, some weren't.  It's a small country, but there's lots of   
   people; some are cute, most are okay, some are ugly.  Such is life.

   Didn't Captain Nerd post a link to his blog about his trip?  I was   
   only there for a couple of weeks, but he was there for, gosh, a month   
   or so at least.
