Hello everyone

[TOKYO64]

TOKYO64 is my name and Japan is my game. I live in Seattle, a beautiful city in the Great Pacific Northwest. I love it here as this is my home. I lived in Japan for over 10 years, most of it teaching some of it in the Air Force. I have lived in Okinawa , Mie, and Osaka. I have been to Aomori, Nikko, Tokyo, Saitama, Chiba, Kamakura, Nagoya, Niigata, Gifu, Nara, Otsu (Lake Biwa)Kyoto , Kobe, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Sasebo and Wakayama! So I have been just about all over Japan!

I can speak Japanese of course and am always looking for ways to get better. I try to get to Japan at least once a year. I joined this community because I am almost done with my book on my long experience in Japan. I need all kinds of input on things like relationships between Japanese females and Black men, Japanese men and Black women all the way to how Japanese live and what changes are taking place among the young generation in Japan.

By the way everyone will ask me why I chose the name "Tokyo64". Well it's because it was when the Tokyo olympics were and the shinkansen and the olympics told the world that Japan was coming back into the international community as a friendly and exciting nation!

From the highlands of Honshu, the roof of Japan, I send you my greetings and a big WELCOME to JREF !!!

It's nice to have you with us and I do hope that you will join in too, and share and learn with us all. I would think that you can pick up some information that can help you with your book; I'm not sure about how much detailed data will come up though.

It may be useful to whatever degree to use the search function--although sometimes it doesn't provide the detail that one may want. If you have any direct questions, it may be good to ask those in a proper thread, or create a new thread under the proper fora heading.

I hope to hear from you again, and I do hope all goes well with the book that you are writing !! See you 'round !!
