: Upbringing :
|
|
My family is typical Japanese nuclear family lived in
the surburb of the greater Tokyo. Actually we were located place
called Yokosuka city, Kanagawa Prefecture. My sister and me were baby-boomer
so that we were both born in 1970s. Bad timing! Nevertheless I
attended public school from grade 1 to 12. When I was kid I was not
so rebellious. Never doubt person who is position in the power. After
high school, I decided to go to engineering school so that I choose
National Chiba University. This school's tuition is cheap since it is
federal institution. Also this school offers courses that I could
learn art of photography from engineering prospective. During school
years I worked numerous jobs to pay tuition and study hard (before
exams?).

: Life's Goals

This is very diverse and vague theme to discuss in the
website because people all over the world will see this. Foremost I
want to be a good person. Secondly I want to be honest to everybody
and also myself. Thirdly I would like to pursue what I want to do.
Finally find a Ms. Right (honest, intelligent, spiritual,
multicultural and compassionate woman) and settle down. Hahaha!
