Happy Birthday in advance @Giles. Thanks for everything you and the IHUK crew have done and continue to do to continue to evolve the brand and bring it to the people. It does not go unnoticed. Enjoy the boots.
@Megatron1505 awesome work on bringing this all together. It played out perfectly.

We are off to see Goto san on Tuesday.
@tokyoGringo will be coming to provide translation services
Goto san is meeting us at the nearest train station and taking us to his work shop, we are round-eyes, so clearly can't be trusted to find our own way
Seriously, that is such a Japanese thing, when we were in Osaka we were approached a good half a dozen times by people who thought we may need help or who just wanted to practice speaking English….That included on Taxi rank man, who left his post for 10 minutes to show us the way to our Hotel. And, as you will know, tipping is frowned upon (positively rude) here, so acts like this are 100% pure kindness..... -
Enjoy the experience, now all that needs to happen is making it to the train station on the morning, everything else is in hand.
FWIW I've never been helped like you guys are/have been in the 6 (7?) trips I've been to Japan. I speak none of the language. Maybe it's you guys are super cute?
-
Ditto for me @Snowy , in fact in Osaka a dude who provided concierge at a big hotel went out of his way to be rude to is with the crossed arm thing…..back in Kyoto people we met said "yep, that's Osaka for you"
-
maybe you need a @Madame Buttonfly with you…..
-
I'm not sure if Giles is saying that we get approached by kind Japanese people because I look cute and approachable, or because I spend most of my time wandering around looking pitiful, lost and in need of help… :-\
have a feeling it's probably the latter!
-
Off for the fitting with Goto san at White Kloud tomorrow afternoon - full report to follow
