I just signed up, but honestly, this isn't my first time to see this site. I go here frequently to read through the forums, and especially look through the pictures, but I never really thought about creating an account until now.

I love Japan with a passion. I'm obsessed with it- ask anyone who knows me! It started when I was about 3 years old. I watched the movie Mulan, and it instantly became my favorite movies. Though the story is based in China, it still as that Asian "oriental" feel to it. After that I would always drag my mom into Chinese restaurants so I could see Chinese/Japanese architecture and art. As I got older, I learned about the different types of East Asian cultures and sculpted my interest to Japan.

Now, I am 15 years old (soon to be 16, in March) and I plan on graduating next year (my junior year) early so I can go my senior year to Japan as a foreign exchange student with the club Rotary Youth Exchange.

In the meantime, I'm learning Japanese and I'm feeding my obsession with Japan's culture by researching everything about it and finding others who share my passion.

~Thanks!
