I've met cheapy in person, he's a real nice guy. I dream of going to tokyo, and if I ever do I'd definitely would love to meet up with Cheapy and have him show me some cool spots in the city.
And to OP, just say, "Hey I was heading to tokyo soon and would like to meet up some time, have any suggestions of places to go eat? Maybe we can meet there if you are available, if not; i'd like to know an interesting place I should go see, Thanks!"
