Hey Brad, Yea, I’m still in Japan and still studying Japanese. I finished one year of the Waseda intensive Japanese program and have almost finished another half year. After one more semester I’ll be finished. I’m also teaching some private lessons and working from time to time at some English schools but nothing major. I…… Continue reading E-mail to Brad 1.9.2004

Old e-mails to friends and family I’ve written. Contain information that would also be good as posts as they deal with my life at that time.
E-mail to Torre 1.8.2004
Hello Torre, This is Mateo your old debate partner from years and years ago at OSU. It was great to see you again at the Carlyle (sp?) club, although I’m sorry to be writing you so late. Did you think I forgot? As I mentioned at the bar, I’m currently living in Japan and it took…… Continue reading E-mail to Torre 1.8.2004
E-mail to Mathias 1.5.2004
Hi Mathais! Happy New Year! Waseda is still going well and my Japanese is getting better but I still fail plenty of tests! Level 3 is much more difficult than level 2. I’m enjoying myself though but don’t enjoy all the homework. Aikido is good when I go. I haven’t been there for over a…… Continue reading E-mail to Mathias 1.5.2004
E-mail to Marina 12.24.2003
Hi Marina! I’m busy busy busy! Level one and two Japanese were for morons, but level three is killing me. They really make us do so much homework, and although I’m constantly doing homework, I can never get it done until the day before it’s due. Needless to say I’m ready for a break and…… Continue reading E-mail to Marina 12.24.2003
E-mail to Liu Lian 11.15.2003
Hello Liu Lian! Sorry it took me so long to respond. Level 3 Japanese is extremely difficult and always busy. It’s nothing like level 1 and 2. Also, I have been working more, going to the gym and doing Aikido. So maybe I am trying to kill myself or something, but it seems like all…… Continue reading E-mail to Liu Lian 11.15.2003

Salut Hyun-Ju Ce deviens plus en plus difficile d’ecrire en francais. On parle pas le francais au japon, donc j’ai oublie bcp!

Mais,…… Continue reading E-mail to Hyun-Ju Tak 11.8.2003
E-mail to Ryan 10.22.2003
Ryan, What’s up man? I haven’t heard from you in ages and was wondering how you were doing. Actually, I don’t hear from anyone back home really. My family is among the worst e-mailers in the world and it’s a miracle if I get one a month from any of them. Being over here amazes…… Continue reading E-mail to Ryan 10.22.2003
