hello as you can see I'm a new member, I've been snooping around lately reading and gather all the info I can as I'm planning on making a trip out to japan for a month, either on my own or with a friend renting an apartment out near tokyo. I'm currently 21 years old living in california half hawaiian half japanese, 3rd gen. so japanese isn't fluent for me so I should have a great time trying to communicate with locals of tokyo. anyways heres a picture of myself for your personal entertainment.
