What a great read...character building experiences for Mike which are unforgettable. Fantastic insight into Japan and the myriad of Vending Machines which all look the same. Don't get lost in Japan!!!!!!!! EBISU (ONE OF SEVEN LUCKY GODS)part of the spirit of Japan, to the rescue? The sudden sound of ENGLISH speaking adults amongst a completely foreign language and culture, music to Mike's ears.
