Being a consultant, I hope to be able to claim that by visiting Japan and checking out the competition as it were, the trip qualifies as some form of educational or professional improvement expense and that I can write off a portion of the trip on my taxes. (Any comments on that?) Hopefully, I will be there around two weeks or so. Anyway, I need to know about plant tours, etc. Where are the Japanese hardware and software companies located? Do they offer tours? (Do they shoot industrial spies or congratulate them? :-) And, of course, it would be nice to know about any cultural points of interest located nearby such installations (for after-hours). thanks, -- Douglas H.
