From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I started out as an academic and then became a copywriter and translator. After living in Tokyo for 15 years, I got tired of the rat-race, and for five years, till 2004, my wife and I lived in a resort area known as Shonan (湘南), south of Yokohama on the very edge of the Tokyo-Yokohama metropolitan area. The area has a wonderful climate and the air is cleaner than Tokyo's. Some days the sunlight has a clear Mediterranean quality, although the climate is not dry like the Mediterranean's.

More recently, my wife and I moved to Malaysia and have been fortunate enough to find an excellent location. Our neighbors are warm-hearted, honest people. As a matter of fact, the wonderful people of Malaysia are one of the country's attractions.
