Since Jusenkyo does not exist (does Jusendo? (Sp) ),  I can't plot a
'realistic' path for Ranma to take. Also Joe's Kobe suggestion gave me some
new ideas about why Ranma & Genma wound up swimming to China in the first

Its obvious I thought.  Genma was training Ranma at a beach off Japan, 
they went swimming and Genma saw a shark.   Quick paniced swim away from 
it..... to china ;)
