Shinkamigoto, Japan!

I think it's that tiny island off the SW coast near Nagasaki. Then again, it could be an unmarked spot in the ocean down there. who knows.

Maybe the #2 most beautiful place in the world, second only to Canada.

The Hauling of the Dragon

a tradition in which this huge dragon is dragged all over the hilly city. it builds character and imbues the puller with the japanese spirit. the dragon also eats children who misbehave and do not display the appropriate degree of shame.
