Is there life on Mars?

Well, I'm back on top, sort of, and feeling pretty good. I found out that on my way to Tokyo next month, we get to stop in Detroit. I'm thinking a repeat of Detroit Rock City is in order.
I also received some information on my new city, Kurobe. What excites me more than anything are the numerous festivals and events they have here; there's at least thirty or so. My favorite is going to be the Kurobe River Fishing-by-Hand Event.
