Welcome to Japan

Orbis terrarum liber est, et illi qui non commeant modo unam paginam legunt.                                                                                                -St. Augustine

 Finally, this site is up and running.  Within you will find my journal archive in which I will recount various musings and anecdotes as they happen, a cumulative photo gallery, and cultural notes drawn both from study and direct observation.  I have translated this page into, at present, four other languages:  Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish, and French.  There are a few people that I know who are native speakers of these languages, but I have done it primarily as a pretext to practice my language skills.  If you think you can translate any of the pages better or if you have noticed egregious grammatical errors (there are bound to be a few), I welcome any salient suggestions.
