Wow, who would have thought that my simple telling of "date" plans with my Japanese partner would draw so much attention. I was trying to add to the very succinct posts by Laplap and her husband about "in between" places to find time alone. Japan as you know is a crowded place, I believe Laplap , her husband (a Japanese national) and the others gave a viewpoint from the "city". I wanted to add that I often find it wonderful to have private time with my partner in the countryside. Where I live "Hot Springs" are everywhere and they are a great place to relax and talk in relative private especially with one's mate. I was also trying to say that much of what goes on here is never spoken but just done.....and was trying to impress this to Sunnyhere. Thanks for listening, and a Happy Chanukah to all!
