Hello,
I am a 31 years old French guy. Fortunately, I did not spend too much time in France recently, so I believe I am not too French. My home town is close to Italy anyways...
So, I will soon celebrate the 10th anniversary of my first trip to Japan. I first went there as a language student, then as an research intern for a few months. I then came back a an expat consultant for two years in Japan. There were good and bad things about this experience, but it makes for good memories now.
I now have more personal reasons to come back to Japan quite often, and it is always a pleasure.
Apart from Japan, I enjoy travelling (Mongolia and Syria are my best souvenirs), history (Genghis Kahn, Louis XIV, Venezia), music (classical, blues, brazilian...) , and litterature (Orwell, Camus, Kawabat...) . Anyways, I am sure you will get to know me better soon.
