Mark Buckton 1 Posted April 8, 2006 (edited) I know we have had at least 3 SF members visit Japan already this year. A few came last and more are lined up for Natsu and beyond - inc of course the publicly stated aderechelsea and ilovesumo but who else is coming out this way or plans to in the coming months for some: (Dohyo-iri...) (A yokozuna...) (Gyoji...) :-) ? Edited April 8, 2006 by Adachinoryu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sasanishiki 57 Posted April 9, 2006 Well, there should be a few coming for the World Champs as well. I'm hoping to be in Osaka and I suspect that Johnofuji and Wanchanyama will try as well. Kenzo most likely will be there, and so will ShiroiKuma if he doesn't break a bone again. Confirmation? And any others? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andreas 0 Posted April 9, 2006 I just started my year as exchange student in Tokyo, and Im pretty sure that I will be able to visit at least one of the Tokyo bashos. It will be the first time for me to watch sumo without a screen. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aderechelsea 107 Posted April 9, 2006 now it would be a pity if we don't meet and have a beer ... wouldn't it ? i know that Mark owes me one from last year when we made a bet on our football teams and i am sure he will honour his word .... :-) John also promised that we'll go get drunk together ... anyone else?

Fay 1,676 Posted April 9, 2006 I'll be there at least for the May Basho and I hope also for the September Basho, or perhaps I give a present to my birthday in November and will go to Kyusho (or to Papua Newguinea, although sumo isn't so popular there, perhaps I should check it. (A yokozuna...) ) I once decided to see every country on this earth but in the moment I only seem to see Tokyo :-) . Perhaps I should make a sidestep to Mongolia.

Doyobi 0 Posted April 11, 2006 I'm scheduled for a Tokio basho. Maybe I'll make it in time for May, if not then it has to be september. I was planning to see the second week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Welcome...) well i hope that i will have enough money to come to Germany also. I already "have" to go to Prague on the 27th of April for 4 days if Panathinaikos qualifies for the Euroleague Final 4 .... (A yokozuna...) i guess by mid-june or early-july i will be broke and will have to save money from scratch .... (Laughing...) no worries ... money are to get spent ... (Neener, neener...)

Well I am a college student, and I have a crappy job, so I don't have a lot of money, plus I paid for my own Bonnaroo music festival ticket, so there went a good amount of my money. But music is one of the most important things in my life, so it was money well spent...I mean 3 days of music...what more could I ask for...other than a trip to Japan, and to get to go to a Basho.
