I don't know. We'll be touring the island of
Kyushu, Japan's large southern island, and it's doubtful we'll see any cyber cafes. Not so many of them in Japan as in Third World Asian countries, where you find them on every other corner. This is perhaps the most rural of Japan's islands, extremely mountainous, and hosts Japan's most active volcano, Mt Aso at 1,591 metres (5,220 ft) There are many other signs of tectonic activity, including numerous areas of hot springs, which means
hot springs resort spas, which we'll use as our evening's lodgings.

Are you ready for this... NO BUGS.
I don't understand it, but I can use the same face shield on my helmet for an entire summer and never once have to clean the outside of it. When riding in the US, I'd carry a small bottle of Windex and a roll of paper towels because I'd have to clean my shield EVERY NIGHT! Sometimes twice a day.
I don't understand how flowers get pollinated in Japan. All I ever see, insect-wise, are dragon flies and some of those huge dirigible-size bumble bees. On the other hand, let me say right here that I'm not complaining! I can remember riding along peacefully at 60mph along an Alabama road, and have a kamikaze June Bug smash into my face shield and almost knock my head off my shoulders!
