You should bring along your cricket whites complete with grass stains. You could defend yourself momentarily with the bat when the jarhead hooligans jump you and the shin guard thingies could provide you some protection when they pummel you senseless... Just a thought.

"O's" fan eh??? Good onya mate!!
I support the Sydney Roosters (Rugby League), but if you want any real protection I'd suggest you hire John Hopoate, he's soon out of a job after the malicious takle he did on that poor Sharks player last weekend, he'll beat the living daylights out of anyone in Okinawa for you mate !!!

If I had to choose an English football team it would be Preston North End FC. Don't ask me why, probably 'cos I was born near there !!!

I lived in Fukuoka for a year. Every weekend youd see the military out in force in and around Tenjin.
Im from Northern Ireland and I had every single military guy I met come up and tell me he was really Irish. After a while it really bugged the shit out of me. "Yeah my cousin's Irish. Yeah, my dog's Irish" etc...Overall, the ones I met were complete assholes who had a complete disregard for Japanese people and culture when they were out drinking. They talked to the door staff and girls in English and abused them if they couldnt understand what they were saying. Of course thats just my experience though. There are reasons remember why most of these *beep* arent allowed into a lot of the clubs in Tenjin whilst in big groups. I remember I saw a group of Yakuza beat the living shit out of a group of military for pushing a girl to the ground outside The Happy Cock. I was laughing.

Boy that was a lot of *beeps* (the last one though was legitimate!)

Sorry for the rant. They just got on my goat.
