Japanese Prime Minister Visits Tennessee

Well, who knew that Mr. Koizumi was Elvis Presely's biggest fan? He was certainly treated like "the King" at Graceland, with a personal tour of the house and grounds directed by Pricilla and Lisa Marie!!

My wife and I visited Graceland ealier this year for the first time, and I must say that it's very entertaining even without the 'insider' tour. It must have been very special for our Japanese guests!

With large Japanese subsidiaries like Nissan USA, Brigestone/Firestone, and Denso headquartered here in Tennessee, I gather that we are becoming big in Japan.
