About Me

Hello!

First of all I’d like to thank you for visiting my blog! I started this blog the first week when I came to Japan and I continued updating it during my trip but at the end I was just absolutely too busy with my girlfriend and taking photos, but I did upload the “top photos” to my Flickr website.

I have traveled all over the world including Mexico, Spain, England, Sweden, Italy, Portugal.etc. And finally I can add Japan to the group.                                                             　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　                         Since I were 13 years old I have been very interested about Japan, it’s culture and people. I had very big expectations for Japan to be like I imagined it to be. Now that I have been there I can say that it was much better then I ever could have imagined !

こんいちわみんな！

訪問ありがとうございます。日本に着いて最初の週からこのブログを始め、彼女と遊んだり写真を撮ったり忙しかったんですが、ついにFlickr（ウェブサイト）に素晴らしい写真のアップが完了しました。
私は１３歳からめメキシコ、スペイン、イギリス、スウェーデン、イタリア、ポルトガルをはじめ、世界中を旅してきました。そしてついに日本も追加されました。日本の文化や人々にとても興味があって、日本への期待が大きかったのですが、すべて私の想像以上でした。
