I am from North America (NY) and enjoy many aspects of Japanese culture.  My two favorite hobbies are collecting figures and playing videogames.  I have studied the Japanese language independently outside of traditional learning institutions.  I have not gone there yet but will one day.  Here I will be blogging about those things that interest me and will more than likely interest you as well.  I hope to meet others like me and create some kind of friendship with like minded parties.
