i don't know about fujisan but i most definitely did .... (Laughing...) (Blushing...)

:-P

Looks like a great opportunity for us European forum members to finally meet like the Americans did in Vegas. Exciting! (Laughing...)

[aderechelsea 125]

indeed it is ...

i would also add the Euro Champs that take place in Switzerland the coming November. It would be another good opportunity for all of us to meet. I will most probably go there too ....

[Onnagumo 4]

I will be there.... (Clapping wildly...)

You mean, WE will be there :-) or did you think I would stay home and let you have all the fun (Laughing...) London here we come!!!!

It's great to see Ozumo going back to Europe in 2009..well at least England but we haven't heard anything about the next year.

These Jyungyo tour is a great way to see each other and get together over a few drinks.

I am looking forward to see folks I've met in Vegas and people from this Forum in Honolulu.

Not trying to hijack the thread but we know they will be in Hawaii in this June and possibly in Taiwan again but do we have any news about Mongolia yet?

Gotta get Kyokushuzan busy soon.

fingers crossed for all you Euros that you dont have to pay exorbitant prices like the Las Vegas one...better start saving up now perhaps

[XiaoTan 93]

Now that is the birthday persent. ;-)

The Royal Albert Hall of Arts and Sciences looks great!

If I have time, I would like to go! ;-)

[Jejima 1,495]

Well if I'm back home in the UK, I'll certainly be there - I just have this nasty feeling I'll be elsewhere.... ;-)

I have to start working on this ;-) . Sumo in London ;-)

Perhaps I will have died and gone to Heaven if can go to London, and drink pints of Cider and watch sumo, and just be in the place I wish to be.

I have a hard time imagining something I would like more than that. Kids will be hardcore fans by then, and we will have a great time

I'm still cursing my luck that the Vegas trip was the same weekend as my wedding. Good luck to all those that go! ;-)

Which one did you choose in the end?

(Laughing...)

Thanks for that Nish! You reminded me of an interesting MA article I read many moons ago...

[aderechelsea 125]

this is from last time Sumo went to the Royal Albert Hall

[Bealzbob 0]

Definitely be taking the trip across for that one :-P

If I dont die from now to on that date....I will be there....

Never had any interest in England or London. Thought London is just a place for shopping and fish and chips and British accent. Maybe it is nice place. Now in 2009 good reason to see how London is and whether it is boring place or cool. Rain is ok, rain is good. Rain is nutrition. Koen viewing and then to see the sights and walk around the Thames and all. Maybe even have afternoon tea and gin and tonic with the queen. Maybe Camilla demands to step on the dohyo and present a cup like Ota did?

Besides it is vital to meet Fujisan in person in one's lifetime because Fujisan may be a legend of a kind and he could utter a quote or two.
