Bethell is a very special New Zealand poet and I am glad you loved those poems. Maybe I should do a post about them:) Elliot: There is a large foreign community here in Tsukuba, mainly comprised of researchers and students studying abroad. The restaurants aren't quite at the same level as the ones you include - although there is a very interesting range here (we went to a nice Iranian restaurant last night). I know that pages of your book have been photocopied and are part of the package given to visiting astronauts and related engineers visiting Japan to give them ideas of what to do on their time off and if they want to visit the capital!

Think there's enough scope for a one-off Tsukuba section? don’t think so, but there are copies on sale at Narita and Haneda airports. Think there’s enough scope for a one-off Tsukuba section?

Thus, it's not likely to be much use to anyone travelling on a budget, or anyone looking for an "undiscovered" gem of a restaurant buried down some small alleyway in Nishi Azabu. But if wining and dining is what tickles your fancy, it's bound to have something to whet your appetite...
