Name: Joost
Coming to you from: The Netherlands
First Breath: June 10, 1970
Intentions and whatnot: On a fine day many many years ago I read a comic about Yoko Tsuno, a famous Japanese comic character here in The Netherlands and Belgium (and possibly other countries). Immediately fell in love with her :-) Besides that, every time I encountered some kind of technical manual with multiple languages, I couldn't help but stare amazed at all those tiny but fascinating Japanese characters. How long would it take to master them? But Japan (or at least, Tokyo) came into my heart and became nr. 1 on my list of places I want to go is the song 'Tokyo' by 10CC. Immediately followed by the beautiful movie "Departures".
Why do you want to go to Japan: Japan is about electronics and I have a background in electronics. Japan is about computers and I work in the IT industry. Japan is all about crowded places and sometimes I am in the mood for that. Japan is mostly about silence and precious beauty and I love them both. I think I have fallen in love with Japan without ever having seen it in real life. But that is about to change...
All things are born and all things die. That is the law of heaven.
