p.s.

Just forgot to mention. Though we have both been thoroughly enjoying our anonymity, and for the most part the stares are to a minimum, mom had a flashback while we were at the volcano. When she used to travel Japanese people used to come up to her and take photos with her in front of sights as if they were best friends. Well sure enough a Korean woman got her husband and child to stand aside and take a photo with the white lady at the volcano. Which by the by is named Naka-dake. 

This example aside its kind of fantastic traveling in a place where your not the target audience and therefore mostly ignored. Apologies if this has been mentioned already.
