About Me

Resident of Japan forever it seems, happily (?) working at Kinki University in Osaka as an instructor of Ingles; Historian and political gadfly, plotting the overthrow of the Bush regime. Married to a rough and tough girl from Shanghai, China and the father of a one year old boy. Talker, party-goer, drinker and story-teller. Lover of all things Asian and European. Church of the SubGenius. Occasional futbol hooligan, expecially come World Cup time. Speaker of Japanese Finnish, Russian, German and French, all badly but can communicate. Frequent walker around Osaka's Minami district in search of the elusive pint. Like a glacier I produce an article every year or two for Kansai Time Out magazine but I am trying to improve on that. My favorite place in the world is Sihanoukville, Cambodia where five deserted beaches always await me. Peace and I'm out.
