Japan

Japan is definitely my home away from home. I've visited Japan a whopping 16 times and lived there for more than three years of my life. After studying Japanese for three years in high school, one year in college, and three years submersed in Japan, I would have to say my Japanese is...Tottemo Jiyozu!!! hahahaha

My first trip to Japan was in college to see my good friend Yuhito Nakamura in Chigasaki. Yuhito and I worked for his father's construction company during the summer of '96. In our free time, we visited Kamakura, Yokohama, and Tokyo Disney.

Below, are a few of the pictures I took from my first visit to Japn.

From May of 2000 to June of 2003 I lived in Nagoya, Japan. During this time, I was able to do some traveling with my friends. Some of the cities I've visited were: Hiroshima, Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe, Gifu, Tokyo, Sapporo, and the prefectures of Gifu, Nagano, and Nigata for skiing.

Besides traveling, most of my time was spent working, playing basketball, and partying with my friends, pictures of all three can be found through out my homepage.
