No, I don't know him and was surprised as you concerning the Japanese re-enactors! My R&Rs were visiting, Bangkok twice, Australia, and Okinawa which I hated. As I a civilian I went back to Bangkok many times plus Cambodia and Laos.
I also had an R&R in Australia, where instead of staying in a hotel, I lived in the home of an English couple whose son was away serving aboard a submarine in the Royal Australian Navy.
When I flew from Viet Nam to Israel for a special thirty day leave, I spent one day in Bangkok, and toured the city while waiting to change planes.
Thank you.

Mr. Townsend:
ReplyDeleteThat was amazing!
Do you know that guy?
I lived in Japan when I was a boy.
My father was stationed at Ashiya Air Force Base on the island of Kyushu.
When I was in Viet Nam, I went on R&R to Japan, and visited Osaka, Enoshima, Kamakura, Tokyo, and Yokohama.
But, I never saw any Japanese Second World War re-enactors!
Thank you.

Interesting. Our plane broke down, so we got a free night's stay. My buddy and I went in June and were surprised that it wasn't beach weather!:)
