I saw a surprisingly large number of Japanese in my hometown (or in the area anyway). I wanted to stop them and ask "Er, why are you HERE?" Curious. It must be the food and friendly people.

Bristol gets a good writeup here.

They make it sound like somewhere you would actually choose to live.

I once saw a lovely Avon Lady.

PS Love the signature Wiggle man.
I make up for it with cunning and guile.

Quite a few Beatle Heads visiting Liverpool.

Poor dears, not that much Beatle stuff to see when you get there! (Er, WHY, Liverpool??)

I'm sure the "beaturu no kokoro" will be enough though.
Some people believe football is a matter of life and death. It is much, much more serious than that

Bristol's a damn fine place, esp. Clifton area. I always enjoy visiting the big sis in 'the village'. I imagine the Japanese find it pretty quaint.

I imagine Clifton is, and the area attracts a large number of Japanese students I believe, both to language schools and the universities.

Found out over summer that Liverpool are soon going to be actively going after the Japanese tourist - long overdue I reckon as well.
