Sorry Ghost - the Japanese was just on the off chance there were any Japanese (only) speaking Nihontophiles lurking and to see if I could get a response... I know it might sound strange but what I am into is HUGE in many countries - especially the US and UK (not just Japan) but I have yet to see...

(このフォーラムを読んでどんな日本アルゼンチン人々のために私は、私たちの日本刀鑑賞会への参加をご招待したいと思います。)

PS IF enough of us are interested we could get serious and call it something like the ''Buenos Aires Nippon Token Kai'' - just a thought :)

lol :) No - its for people who are Japanese sword nuts like me :) lol

PS For those who are interested the sword pictured is my Higo mounted Shinto Seki school katana with Fujishiro kanteisho - one of my prized possessions :) She is more of an uchigatana to be correct but perfectly suited to the two or three schools of swordsmanship I have studied...:) With a nice...

Um sorry Joe - the katana you are looking at is 350 years old and razor sharp - if USED to fight it would certainly cut one (or more) human bodies in half with a single stroke - but it might also damage the edge or polish of the blade and I would then have to send it back to Japan for a fresh...

I know that Hybrid Ambassador will be a taker for sure - we will be in our permanent long term apartment in Belgrano next month and as of February I think would be a good time to start the Buenos Aires Nihonto Society off with its inaugural meeting and sake drinking session (although I think...

Greetings all - I haven't tried this before so I thought I would right now - slap bang in the middle of Expat Life... IS anyone interested (here in capital) in being part of a Nihonto group that meets perhaps once a month ? I will include some ''sword porn'' pics right now for those of you who...

あなたは私の友人を郵送しました;)

You're killing me - I am starving already :) I was a professor at Kanda Gaigo Daigaku and lived fairly close in Makuharihongo - only about 7 stops from Chiba City and if you jump lines at Tsudanama (next station) its only 30 minutes to Tokyo and of course Roppongi, Shinjuku, Shibuya, etc... Need...

(I still remember those stand up Ramen joints the salarymen used to use - but even the least impressive looking of places could produce the most delicious of Ramen :)

(Basically - to celebrate the end of this most unpleasant chapter/experience of the last month or so would like to take the family out for really perfect Japanese or maybe have an at home Japanese night...)

(''Ikkimasho - itatakimasu...'' :)

I'm damn curious about you Hybrid Ambassador - if you are not Japanese you must have lived there because you know Japanese culture and things that only someone who has lived there would know :) BTW - totally nothing to do with this thread and I *should* probably post it elsewhere but I am...

I know I have possibly not been (lol) the *most* objective person in the world throughout - but then again being the victim DOES tend to make it very hard to be 100% objective or dispassionate - but even so I have ''said it as it is'' - without lies, without embellishment and simply the facts as...

I'm confused myself on a few points guys - my main aim was to warn others about my experiences so that they didn't have to fall into the same trap I did (more than once - i.e. really bad landlords...) The lawyer bit is kind of an ''added bonus'' (I had many private messages to ask about this...

(Okay gringoboy - I think I got that - basically, ''don't do bad if it won't bring you any good?'' Sorry - my Spanish is terrible but I think that is how I would translate it...)

Thanks Dublin :) I know what you're saying makes sense - and I should just ''move on'' - but its just that this is not the first time I have been ''had'' like this and the urge to do something about it does get stronger... Well, I'll do what I can to at least get my deposit back I think - but...

PS Bajo_cero2 - thank you so MUCH for you constructive comments here: ''you got what you deserve'' ? Ah - you mean I got ripped off by my landlady (the same way you ripped me off 2000 dollars when you were my lawyer and did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FOR IT - you know - the 2000 dollars I sent to your...

I don't know what Bajo_cero2 is smoking but I really think I should buy some :) lol 8 years in jail ? ''Uso de armas o en banda'' ? Okay - myself and my partner just got back from having a few beers in Palermo but it doesn't look like I am the one who is drunk here :) lol
