Got to get my rest - i.e., no booze or tonkotsu ramen tonignt for me.
Thanks to all those who made this Do a success. I'm sorry that I was
not more of a participant, but I was lucky to get to it at all.
For those who might want a rematch with this city, note that Raumen
Stadium is on the 5th floor of Canal City, which is next door to the
Grand Hyatt.

Live music in the restaurant of the Hilton 4th floor (3 singers)
Might be interesting for some.
I'm going to the pool for a bit and then a stone bath (closes @ midnight)
Cheers!

You didn't go o to the crawl?
I met up with the Hhonors crew.
Might go crawling for kit Kat flavors beyond green tea and cheesecake after my stone experience. The Hilton has 3 types of saunas and 3 types of soaking pools

Thanks to the organizers for putting this together and keeping us relatively on track! I'm sure herding cats would have been easier at times. Had a great time, enjoyed meeting all sorts of different FTers! Now on mildly creative route home. (It's so refreshing to be amongst a group of people where I don't have to explain the logic in flying FUK-ICN-TPE-YVR solely to try flying one of the Hello Kitty planes!) Take care all, and safe journeys "home" wherever that takes you!

Picked up cheesecake and green tea (big bags) at the Nagasaki Train Terminal (grocery in the back) but those others sound great, especially the azuki bean one.
