Japanese love golf and golf here in Thailand is cheap! I live in the Thai Japnese enclave. Only the pub and the Blockbuster is not Japanese. The owner of the Japanese barbecue place I go once in a while, lives here for about 11 years. Her husband export to Asian countries dry flowers for decoration. Apart from running the restaurant, she designs and manage the production of the dry flowers. Daughter studies in Australia. Elmat has that Curitiba place to return and doesn't have to move to anohter country.
