est.
3. Are there expat clubs or

ents.?
4. Can one buy tofu,

5. Are current U.S books

Thanks much. I really appreciate your quick and , hopefully great answers. I'm sure that I'll have MANY more questions. If you don't care to answer, just answer like former First Lady of the U.S. would advise 'Just say no'
thanks again,
Jerry in BA, who'd rather be somewhere else.
