Hello Siri,
Tina Koyama-my Facebook friend and also friend from a number of email lists is in Nigata I think. She also often talks about coffee on Facebook. Find her on my friends page or just search for her. My Facebook name: Natalia Roschina . Feel free to join as friend. I OK everyone even past enemies-no discriminations. I don’t drink coffee though- stopped black tea and coffee in March 2010. Caffeine is a bad drug which I was addicted to (even two cups of coffee a day is an addiction as I see it). No more drugs for me. Bad side effects according to what I’ve researched. With going vegan in March, coffee was the hardest thing for me to stop as I had cravings for it for several months (meat, fish, dairy products were easy).
Tina Koyama also talks on Facebook about her garden and things she plants. Sounds like a funky garden. Maybe you could get together and she can show off pics, etc. Tina has been very kind to me and helpful over the years. You can tell her to join us here too. She’s full of energy, kindness, ideas and inspiration.
Regards
