More about me: I grew up in Sapporo, Japan, graduated from Sophia University and worked as an international business co-ordinator for the Tokyo Headquarters of Hitachi Ltd. Then I moved to Australia to complete a MA in International Relations (Australian National University)
and a PhD in Politics. I have taught Japanese language at both high schools and universities in Australia, and modern history of Japan at the ANU and UNSW. I have written for publication, including a book on Okinawan history ("Myth, Protest and Struggle in Okinawa" available at http://www.amazon.com/Protest-Struggle-

I also teach yoga and grow bonsai trees.
