I have thought about journalism in Japan so it's good I'm going this summer so I can see what living abroad is like. I was born in Misawa on an U.S. military air force base.
I spotted your contact info and thought I would say hello to a fellow Greek. I have known Howard Owens from our time together in the Digital Media Federation and I am pleased to see this new site launched.
Best regards,
