  1. Having lived in Japan for a long time, in the cities, but coming from the countryside in England I could really relate to Damian’s desire to get back to nature. As a businessman though, I wasn’t sure he’d thought through all the possible ramifications. I really wish him luck and perhaps you can give us an update in 12 months or so?
