Getting Stone
Not gaining stone, and not getting stoned…
I’m getting stones! I’m on business for a few weeks upcoming, and on my return trip, I’m stopping in Tokyo for a weekend. The wonderful goishiten, Kuroki Goishi, will be delivering my Go Ishi (with bowls) to my hotel in Tokyo! I am really looking forward to the Tokyo trip (even though I am only staying a few nights), and especially my new Go Stones.
I also can’t wait to visit and play at the Nihon Kiin! I really hope their shop is open - I want to buy an autographed fan (Go Seigen or Takemiya) and lots of 囲碁本.
Taiwan is my business destination, but I’ve lost hope on playing go there - I managed to find a go salon in Taipei one time, but I’m not going to be very close to Taipei and, aside from CKS airport, I’m probably not going to visit there at all on this trip! Wish I could find one in Tainan…
In any event, hopefully this trip goes well - especially from a weiqi & igo standpoint 
Pray for no typhoons in Taiwan & Japan!!!
