Hey, I'm from Texas. What do you like about it? I'd list to go someplace tropical, like Bora Bora.

I don't really know. I have met people on the forums from there, and I guess that I am curious. As a child at school, we sang a few songs about Texas.

Looks like some of the rural roads in NZ. :jest: So you have been to Japan, @Debp? I have a bit of Japanese in my DNA. :thumbsupx1
Yes I spent a week in Japan years ago. Visited Tokyo, Nikko and Kyoto. You can do a day trip out of Tokyo to Nikko by train. Then board a bus up the mountain to Nikko.

I spent three nights in Kyoto and really enjoyed it, too.

I was in Tokyo in 2010.
- Global Mission Consultation.

Tokyo is the third most populous metropolitan area in the world.
I know a former missionary to Japan (now retired and back in the USA after serving her whole adult life in Japan.) She served in the mountains of Japan, Toyama Ken (province). She went to only villages.

Indeed. You take your life in your own hands when you travel to the cities...

Former Toyota Tundra owners from the USA have recently gathered in large numbers on Mt Fuji to summons Godzilla.

They are irate that Toyota went from the most reliable 1/2 ton pickup to the one that self-destructs within a year or two of ownership.

Mothra AGREES

However, Toyota is not yielding and have sent a mission to Mars to summons Ghidorah as a body guard.

Except in the mountains of Japan, the wild monkeys can be aggressive. Judy the missionary said in Japan they sell rubber bullets to chase the monkeys away.

Maybe that's why the Japanese monkeys can be aggressive? I was in contact with wild monkeys in Indonesia and Malaysia years ago. A monkey in Indonesia took a peanut from me. But he held onto my finger as he knew I had another peanut hidden in my hand! I squealed and a nearby vendor came running. But as soon as I gave him the other peanut, he left. There were hordes of forest monkeys that came as they knew tourists would feed them.

In Malaysia a monkey accompanied me as I climbed the Batu Cave steps (300 steps). He was climbing alongside me on the cement railing. But our tour guide had fed the monkeys before so they didn't bother us for food.


Indonesia monkeys in the forest I visited.

Batu Caves, Malaysia....when I visited the steps were only a few feet wide and plain colored cement.

I love the UK. Was blessed to visit London and some other cities and towns. The little villages are quaint and the countryside is beautiful. Large historic estates are great to see as well.

Hi, My Sister, right now, looking unto, Our High Priest, of what He has said unto us. Really, to Watch and Pray, Being Still Knowing That He That Has Made Us Is The LORD. Our Good Shepherd. As He Has Promised.

Love, Walter

I live in Texas ... everybody is moving here from all over the country. I think besides Florida, it is the fastest growing state. I lived in Califonia for 40 years and looked for a place to retire. So I did my homework and found quality of life seemed to be best in Texas. Four great cities, lots of land, affordable living - the Bible Belt. People are more friendly and polite here than in California. They were brought up differently. The American dream is still alive here. Lowest unemployment - most jobs than anywhere, quaint little towns like Georetown (thought I traveled back in time to 1905) - with well preserved buildings in a small town square.
Been here 10 years now ... summers are hot though. When people from around the world visited Texas for the Olympics, they were shocked at how nice the people were and the pleasant way of life ( unlike the ugly picture painted where they came from). I love it here.
Anyways, my dream was Italy and then of course Jerusalem. But New Zealand has lots of natural beauty - you are in a nice place, isolated from the world's dark influences.

Interesting. I always thought San Antonio Texas would be a nice city. Maybe it's because of the River Walk and The Alamo.
