When in Japan

Dude, you're confusing kabuki with geishas.

Kabuki theater actors are men who play both male and female characters.

Geishas are female performers focused on traditional Japanese performance arts in music, song, and dance.

 

True. Not confusing at all. Not your dude. I lived in Japan for 5 years. I know kabuki quite well. Formal tea ceremony is real geisha. Special parades and ceremonies are girls/women dressed up. Weddings. $$$$$$$..
Tourist trap geishas are usually gay men dolled up as geishas. The majority. Tourists have no f'ing clue.

 

I spent a week at NAS Atsugi, but unfortunately didn't have the time to hit Mt Fugi. I could see it in the distance. Not the same of course. Nice pic!

 

I spent 6 months in Iwakuni, never had the chance to get up North. But I was able to see the Peace Memorial Park (Ground Zero) in Hiroshima, as well as Kintai Park, Kintai Bridge, and Iwakuni Castle on Mt Shiroyama. Beautiful area...and if you ever decide to visit Peace Memorial Park, please be respectful. It's a very sombering experience.

 

I was stationed at MCAS Iwakuni. Type 4 calibration lab. One year. Sent to MCAS New River for a year. Re-upped. Promoted to SGT and requested to go back to Iwakuni to MCC-1 calibration lab. 4 more years. Lived off base and bought a Toyota Starlet. I went all over! Ha
Quite familiar with all you mentioned ten times over...H&MS 15. F4's and A4's at the time. PMEL Lab. Microwave lab. Game changer for my career. Stayed in calibration for 45 years. Recently retired.

 

It was a UDP deployment for me with the 31st MEU back in the mid 90s. Stationed out of Yuma with MALS-13 Avionics, attached to MALS-12 in Iwakuni. Thoroughly enjoyed being in Iwakuni and the JNs that worked the chow hall were the greatest bunch of perverted bastards you'll ever meet

 

Japan was a bucket list thing! Crazy shit. I left in 84! Semper Fi Brother!

AIR WING!

 

Yut...Semper Fi brother!!!

 

Suntory whiskey is the worst! Japanese whiskey is the worst. I met most of my Japanese friends by turning them on to JW or JD! Sake with gold flakes in it is what you want to bring back concerning booze. I no longer drink hard liquor. Beer only and my Oncologist hates that!

Oh...Suntory Vodka is fermented rice piss.

 

Who gives a damn, run circles around the Tundra. Probably pull more too.
