I cannot wait to visit Japan. I grew up in a Japanese neighbourhood in New Jersey and almost all of my friends were Japanese, several of whom could barely speak English. Japanese culture was such a strong influence and has remained so throughout my life.

While I continue to enjoy Japanese food, literature, language, history, games, and other cultural constructions I often times just miss being surrounded by everything Japanese. So, I very much look forward to visiting as much of the country as possible in the future.
