52. My grandmother in New York used to serve us Westfalian Ham before I even knew where it was

Of course, at age 8, you don't think of things like that.

My sister in law is from the Tokyo area, and I have visited there several times, although she now lives with my brother in the Langley area of Virginia. So, I get to try my meager Nihongo when I visit Washington, but it's usually the standard "wakaranai!" for me. My younger daughter studied in Hawai'i for two years, so we learned to appreciate the weather out there a LOT when we visited!
