@Serena phil,
From high up on the Alpine plains of Shinshu, Japan, I send you my greetings, along with a big WELCOME !!
I'm sure many a good discussion will wander your way as you wander through the streets and down the trails of the forum. Also, for a little extra note. . . I may have a certain affection for your username...seeing that it's the name of the car that I drive. Niisan Serena, a van, 8 seater, and plenty of kilos logged in on it.
See you 'round ! KJ
