I don’t know well why their business became great, but maybe they are living in Oregon…. West Cost from Seattle to San Diego became crazy busy states in last 30 years, but Oregon is still remaining “mellow mood”! Yes, Ross & Michael knows well “what is comfortable life and business.”
Very looking forward to seeing them on 10/31-11/1! They will bring very rare items to Tokyo!
