Better to get the OB/GYN stuff done in the U.S. Here, most of the ob/gyns are men...who are as thoughtful about it as someone carving up the core of a pineapple. JAPAN YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG.

I am not looking forward to wading through the politics when I get back home. (Gah, I can't believe I am heading home and you're just getting here! But you'll be all right in Japan!)
