It may not be the new standing tech by then, but yeah, it's on the list.

I can't wait to go to Japan.  I had a roomate in college that summered in Japan once.  He was like a half foot shorter than me and looked like Andre the Giant in all the pics he showed me, when compared to basically everyone else in every picture.  Will feel surreal, I bet. 

Also, fantastic sushi from what I hear.

My little sister dated a guy in HS that couldn't pronounce R correctly.  He trained himself not to say anything with that letter.  My sister had to give a speech at graduation and he helped write a majority of the first draft.  When she read it, no R in the whole thing.  Also made it awkward since our last name starts with R.

Whereas the U.S. imported more than 35 percent of the energy in 2005, in the last quarter of 2013, it imported only about 15.5 percent. To put that in context, the U.S. cut its imports of oil during that period by an amount equal to all the oil Japan uses. Japan is the world's third largest economy.
