Oe is really an amazing place. It is also a place that I'm pretty sure doesn't get a whole lot of caucies dropping in. A group of school kids saw us and looked as though they hadn't seen a foreigner too often (if at all) in their neck of the woods. They also referred to us as "Gaikokujin" which is a very polite and formal way of saying Gaijin (foreigner) that I did not hear anywhere else. I heard "Gaijin" plenty though. Usually along with "ooki" (big) and "hana" (nose).
