[West]

Name: West
Coming to you from: USA
Background: Single, not looking, caucasian, 19 years old, multi-instrumentist and geek.
Intentions: Learn Japanese, make friends, immerse myself in the culture, environment, and language to become proficient in Japanese.
Why do you want to go to japan: Since I was a young child I've always had a fascination with Japan. It started with the name, I would say "Ja-Pan", "Pan-Ja", and other deviations. I don't know why it piqued, in the sense of excite, my interest. Over the years, I have gone in and out of my determination of learning the language and moving to Japan. Now I am faced with 4 years of being on a carrier with hardly any access to the internet to pass the times. So, I feel this is a good time to start learning, make pen pals, and ready all materials I can for learning while abroad. I have not found anything I dislike about Japan and it's culture, yet.
