I have lived in Japan off and on since the early 1990s (but on for good since the early 2000s).

I spend much of my time creating and improving my class materials, conducting research, writing up that research for publication, and presenting that research at conferences (all of which I enjoy!).

When I actually have some time for myself, I enjoy watching movies, listening to music, drawing pictures, and exploring the fascinating city that is Tokyo (mostly by bicycle).
