Figured I'd do the formality thing. After 7 years in Tokyo, the small firm I am with decided to move to bright and sunny Hawaii. Definitely wasn't ready to leave, but I've got a pretty cushy job, so didn't have much of a choice.

Anyways, I stumbled across this page after a google search for an out-of-print book that I had since college, but actually gave to a friend to help her w/ her studies.

I'm a member of quite a few tech-related web communities (I do IT) and I'm often that annoying guy that asks tons of questions, but can't contribute anything besides well-wishes. So, hopefully I can flip the roll here.

Oh, quick background -- I'm originally from Texas. Graduated school, moved to Japan for what I thought would be 2 years. Job turned into career so I stayed. Now, I spend my mornings at the beach, and days in the office.

That's all for now I suppose.
Ciao

Welcom GaijinPunch! 🙂
That's really awful bad luck what happened with your firm there 😌
Hope things get better for you again, and you can move back to Japan soon :haihai:
 
Well, there are definitely worse places to live in Hawaii. I'm taking it by storm, and enjoying my time here. The main reason I wasn't ready to leave was b/c I just moved into a house I really liked just 9 months prior to moving. My wife also likes it nice, cloudy, and metropolitan, so you can imagine she's not too big on Hawaii, and I have to hear about it. :(

Talk to yas soon!

too bad about you having to move to hawaii (never thought I'd say that...)
