About Me


.. View Album Get your own
I am Kevin.
I used to live in New Jersey, but now I'm in the "city" of Akaiwa in Okayama, Japan.
It is pretty inaka here, but I'm very close to cities like Okayama, Hiroshima, Osaka, Kobe, Himeji, and Kyoto, so I can escape the countryside if I wanted to.
I like it here.
I am a part of the JET Program as an Assistant Language Teacher working at one junior high school and three elementary schools in Akaiwa City.
People tend to stare at me everywhere I go, but that's fine with me.
yoroshiku onegaishimasu. i would write that in Japanese, but japanese is such a crazy difficult language that it confuses myspace, therefore it would only show question marks.

Television:

i have 5 fuzzy channels that show shows that i can't understand a word of.

when they interviewed me, they put the camera in my face...like 2 centimeters from my nose.
i'm pretty sure it was terrible.
now i'm famous all throughout japan!
...no, no I'm not, but that would be pretty sweet.

Books:

japanese textbooks and whatever i feel like reading. hooray for maruzen for having some books in english! i also attempt to read manga in japanese, but that doesn't usually work out very well...
