Across Tampa Bay from the city of Tampa.<BR/><BR/>>moved to Japan when I was only 1 mth old! And we left when I was 10 yrs old<BR/><BR/>Oh, so you were young!<BR/>But you were here ten years. Did you learn Japanese? Do you remember it?<BR/><BR/>>we've been to Yokosuka lots of times, the American shopping and dining is much better there than here<BR/><BR/>Really? I thought the stores on those two bases were basically the same (of course, I can't shop in them though).<BR/>Off base, Yokota is kinda in the boonies.<BR/><BR/><BR/>>so I usually go about every other month.<BR/><BR/>That often? It must be a long commute from Fussa!<BR/>We've only been to each of those bases a couple times. (They're a culture shock to me :) )<BR/><BR/>>Do you ever go back to the States?<BR/><BR/>We went to Florida only once. Five years ago.<BR/>I'm not used to America anymore. Even tipping was difficult (I know how Japanese tourists feel in America. I didn't who to tip...or how much) But it was a fun vacation.<BR/><BR/>We'd like to go again...but it's expensive with a family of five!<BR/><BR/>Please feel free to comment on my blog!<BR/>Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2491314707604482912.post-73358699361472894182009-01-28T14:36:00.000+09:002009-01-28T14:36:00.000+09:00WOW!

How many years did you live here for?<BR/><BR/>Anyways, my family and I have been inside "Yokota AFB" for their "Friendship Day" before.<BR/>I wrote about it here:<BR/>http://tokyo5.wordpress.com/2008/08/25/this-weekend/<BR/><BR/>Have you ever been to the US Navy base in Yokosuka?<BR/>We've been to their "Friendship Day" a couple times too:<BR/>http://tokyo5.wordpress.com/2008/09/14/us-base-attacked/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
