Name: Patrick
Gender: Male
Coming to you from: England
First Breath: 28th May 1969 (old man, haha)
Intentions and whatnot: I found this forum in a google search and found lots of useful information. I've been watching anime for about 20 years and my love of Japanese culture has stemmed from there. Hopefully I can use this forum to help people and be helped by others...I can certainly try to help anyone who wishes to learn Japanese language.
Hobbies/Interests: Japanese language/culture, cycling, keep-fit, playing poker, reading, film, cooking, PC gaming.
Why do you want to go to Japan: I'd like to see as much of the country as possible in 1 visit, then return as many times as possible to concentrate on different areas of the country. I'm going next year (2010)... I've been studying the language for 4 years, I've been saving money for a year and now I'm just absorbing information to make my trip as smooth as possible. Basically, I just want to experience as much of the country and culture as I can.
