Hello all!
I thought it was time for a formal introduction on the "Introductions" thread. I've been enjoying my time already here at JREF, making new friends, engaging in a bit of pointless banter with the newbies, dispensing practical advice etc. I hope to continue my role here as senior advisor to those seeking to make a success of their lives in Japan. So any questions you have, fire away!

A little personal information: I work in a University, am married to a Japanese Wife and own a House here. I am also the keeper of a small but troublesome flock of Budgies. My interests include Japan, the English Language, playing the Helicon and, of course, the Internet.

Please let me know if I can help you in any way!

Paul

From the edges of tomorrow...that wish that never comes...I wish for a great Autum for you all !! Welcome Paul ! I do hope that you would spend more time learning JREF before going head first through the door.

But, alas, what has been done, can hardly be undone. I would strongly suggest that you not take too much care in considering yourself to have any seniority just as of yet, however.

Catch you later !! MM

Hey, welcome to JREF, fellow noob (to the forum, not Japan ).

Hopefully we can get on better in future.

Thanks, guys! Let's enjoy our time together here, make friends, exchange ideas and visit Mali from time to time to update on the African Blues.

Dear Paul

Welcome.

Actually several of us are married to japanese women.


Please remember that you are the one who is a newbie here at this forum.
☝

Rule number one regarding communication in this kind of forum: If you want to be respected you better show equal respect to others.


Take some time to get to know us, before assuming that you are superior to the rest of us.

Hanachan, thankyou! I'm enjoying my time here already, as I said. I believe I have a lot to offer the site and its newbies, but I most definitely do not consider myself superior in any way to anyone here. I'm rather sad that you should think so. Anyway, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and look forward to seeing you on the forii!

Paul
