I'm Glenn.  I live in the Washington, D.C. area.  Am involved in international aerospace  trade.  Visit Japan for pleasure.  Have been lucky to be able to ski in Hakuba and Furano.  Will ski Yamagata Zao for the first time this Winter. Lived in the Austrian Alps for a while as a child.   Anybody like to ski or do ice dance ( i.e. ballroom dancing on ice skates )?  Trying to learn some basics of the language, how to make  wagashi, and something about Japanese culture, history, tea ceremony and the country's domestic and international politics and policies.
