Dodge is a **** hole.
Period.
You can't have 2 major meat packing plants within 1/8 mile of each other and not be a **** hole that smells like a **** hole that looks like a **** hole with ****ty drivers.

You might as well put the entire state of Kansas on the list.

Incorrect.

Dodge City has a nice library -- Carnegie money -- and their old west boardwalk is kitschy.

When the car broke down again on the other side of Kansas -- Eden -- I stayed in Fort Scott.

Went to the Bourbon County Fair and spent lots of time with the barn animals ... fun fun fun!

One could put together a heckuva road trip around Carnegie libraries.

Depends where you are and what depth of experience you want. If you're out in the countryside or off the well-beaten tourist path, then yes, you need some Japanese to do more than wander about. In the big cities and major tourist spots, though, they either have ample English signage or are used to dealing with foreigners who don't speak Japanese wandering about. People with no Japanese ability regularly come to the country and have a great time -- I've known many, and been one myself.

Would it be a richer experience if you could read all the signs and say more than a few survival phrases? Without question. Do you need to hit N3 on the Japanese Language Proficiency Test before even considering a visit? Not in the slightest.

I didn't say I didn't enjoy Japan. But thanks for the mansplaining.

Kansas is worth keeping solely because KCK is where the original Oklahoma Joe's is located. I refuse to call it Joe's KC.

Missouri, too.
