A very big welcome from me, Mr Man, glad to have you here on the forum!
Why thank you MOS! It's good to be here
I've already read a couple of your posts. You seem to like a balanced discussion and be ready to comment, and your experience and time in Japan will no doubt bring a useful perspective.
Thanks again. Feel free to rein me in if/when I start getting too opinionated..LOL
Why not tell us a little bit more about yourself? Have you always lived in Chiba?
Most of the time yes. Started in Tokyo as usual, and did my first stint of teaching in Aizuwakamatsu in Fukushima ken. I worked at Narita Airport for about two years (for the experience and Japanese practice) have been free lancing as a teacher now for the rest of the time. I'm married to a Japanese woman and we have two little kids. A boy (5) and a girl (10 months) she was born on my birthday, so she's the best birthday present I'm ever likely to have!!
Travelled around?
Yes, I've travelled to quite a few places. Lived about 5 years in Australia, been to Europe, America, India, China, the U.K, and a lot of Asian countries too. It's pretty much impossible now to travel like I did before, but one day I'll
get out again..
Your interests?
I'm an art school graduate, so I paint (oils) and still keep my hand in when slaving to support a family allows the occasional break. Also I love to play music (bass and drums)Anything you like really!?
