My eldest lad was travelling around SE Asia last year and I met up with him in Thailand (never again) then Japan for a few days - taking in the game against Yokohama (any excuse). My youngest son goes home and away but the eldest is a traveller and his 2 away games to date are Red Bull Arena in NJ and the Japan National Stadium (so he’s probably clocked more away miles than myself)!
Stadium is superb as you say and having a drink in your seat is brilliant. Bumped into a lad who sits 2 seats to my left at SJP (surreal).
The trip to Japan was an incredible experience and I’m going back next year with me wife (significant birthday). Lovely people (not me and me wife - she’s ok like).
Met a couple of supporters on the JET scheme who’d ’settled’ in Japan and they showed us around for a couple of days. Neither had your build so I don’t need to ask if you’d acted as a guide.
Been to Japan myself 3 times, fantastic country with a lot to see and do.
I went to see a football match at Yokohama on my second trip, the game was average overall, but the fans, the passion they had with the coordinate chants and more made it truly a special experience that I really enjoyed.
With the team coming over at full time to bow and to thank the fans for their support.
Good read that Joe (arrigato gozaimas like!) I visited Japan ten years ago and loved the place - had the drunkest night of my life in Hiroshima where I had the bar staff and locals chanting 'fuck london' bit surreal really! Look forward to reading more from you. Cheers
Brings back memories that, Joe. Enjoyed it.
