< Hometown >I was born in Shimonoseki city, which is located at the west edge of main land, of Yamaguchi prefecture in Japan. Shimonoseki is a beautiful city which is covered on three side by water and is also mountainous and endowed with nature. This city has a different face as a historic place where a lot of critical events have intermittently occurred in the long history and still retains many remnants of castletowns. Shimonoseki is blessed with an abundance of seafood because this is, as mentioned, surrounded by the sea, and blowfish is very popular nationwide and is relied on to promote tourism.Incidentally, Yamaguchi prefecture has the largest number of successive prime ministers in the nation. The population of Shimonoseki city is near 300,000.You refer to Wikipedia. Pretty good to understand.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shimonoseki< Life in Tokyo >I live in Tokyo since I was 20 years old except that I spent for a while in Seattle, WA and San Francisco, CA. I've been doing corporate accounting and planning and work for a US IT company.< Study Abroad >I attended a special program at University of Washington in 1999 and 2000. I experienced an internship at an accounting firm located very close to Space Needle.My favorite city is Seattle, San Francisco, and New York.< Website>â— http://saku7up.blogspot.com/
