I like sports and anything outdoors. I also enjoy trying new things. My motto is: I'll try anything once.

Jason Davis, Mutsu-shi

These are few of the things I love…

 and so on and so on…
Olivia Silva, Mutsu-shi

 

 I am a person who likes to drink, smoke, and have fun. My favorite television program is hockey night in Canada. I am a biology major with a focus in Darwinian evolution. I also enjoy fishing bass, trout, and salmon. Being able to stay up late and sleep-in is a good thing. Video games are good, but NHL '98 for the SON Playstation is the best game ever. Playing cards and gambling is one of my favorite pass times along with playing ice hockey. I can listen to almost any type of music, but enjoy TOOL, Smashing Pumpkins, Beastie Boys, Clutch, Wyelef Jean, Beck, etc. This coming year I hope to learn to snowboard and speak Japanese.

Chad Ivany, Towada-shi

 

I am a nerd & I'm very proud of it. I am a swell person so please call me up sometime. We'll talk comics!

Katie (Katherine) Thomas, Tsuruta-machi

According to Japanese bowling officials, I am Ging. What that means, I'm not sure. Other than that, I'm from Western Canada and I enjoy skiing and playing hockey. Whenever my boots arrive from home, I also enjoy hiking and generally being outside. On days when it may be chilly, I can be found watching (if I have the videotapes) "Friends," "Seinfeld," and "The Simpsons" (or anything really). I have a big house with only me in it. So, if you are in the area of Towada-shi and you're looking for a place to stay and play some cards, drink some beer, or stuff, give me a call.

I'm aged 22 and come from Somerset County, England. I have just graduated from Cardiff Uni, Whales with a BA in German & Japanese (though my knowledge of kanji is still utterly non-existent), so I guess that makes me a poor person! I tend to be fairly quiet, so I guess in that respect I fit the British stereotype. My sporting abilities are also completely absent, but since I've been using computers since I was about 7 I've accumulated a fair bit of knowledge about them (and some of it is even useful!) On the JET Programme I am a senior High AET based in Kuroishi. My predecessor was Mark Moore, and he seems to have left quite a tough act to follow. I've yet to sort out e-mail, but email addressed to Heal@Cardiff.ac.uk will get through to me. My hotmail address is kheal@hotmail.com but I'm really too lazy to check it.
Kenneth Heal, Kuroishi-shi

 

I love playing the barracas, drinking beer, and bulldogs!

Helen Clarke, Aomori-shi

 

 

"I like having long octopus arms, they are very useful for playing the barracas." I'm a person who likes to hang out with friends, drink great wine, eat good food and do random things.

Elizabeth Dickinson, Rokkasho-mura

 

HAPPY! Outgoing and mellow. I like sports, hiking, camping, and food. Like to do new things and can be counted on to do almost anything. (a drink or two usually helps with this)

Dave Joseph, Gonohe-machi

 

A reluctant adventurer.

Stuart Campbell, Kodomari-mura

I am the happiest when I am enjoying the Outdoors whether hiking, skiing, backpacking, kayaking, camping, or simply exploring. Flying in small aircraft is my favorite thing to do, with a special love of helicopters. My ultimate dream is to fly in a F-16. I also enjoy relaxing evenings at home with a good book in front of the fire and playing the piano. Feel free to discuss any scientific discoveries (i.e. mold growth) with me. As a chemistry/biology major I'd be interested. And if you ever find Mexican food in Aomori, please call me!

I am a paradox.

I am not a paradox.

 Single white male, 6'4", blue eyes, blonde hair, trim & muscular. I enjoy long walks on the beach at sunset & warming by the fire on a cold winter's night. Not just another pretty face, I enjoy the works of Proust & Tolstoy. To know me is to love me.

I AM ALL-POWERFUL…

Maynard Plant, Shichinohe-machi

 

 

I bask in the enlightenment which is Maynard! And all the questions in this confusing would become crystal clear in their foggy presence.

gutsy Amanda McCarten, Kuroishi-shi

I am a Calgarian,, a Canadian (eh), a bike rider, a hiker, a bird watcher, a non-traditional teacher, a laid back person, a laugher, a short person that fits into Japanese clothes (yeah!), not a very good artist, a cat-owner, a naturalist, a semi-regular ALT in Takko-machi, a first timer to Japan, a first timer to anywhere overseas, a person who likes to doodle.
Michelle Boutin, Takko-machi
 

I am happy when I am: with friends, listening/playing great music, in a beautiful (beach, river, mountains), playing sports, playing extreme sports, eating great food & drinking great drink, fly fishing on a beautiful day in a mountain valley, hiking to the top of a mountain & running down, reading a great book, meeting new people, & travelling to new places.

Scott A Burton, Tsuruta-machi

 

I don't think that this is such an important question. Especially when there people around the world suffering. I think we should ask ourselves that question.

(imagine a serious voice here)

I also would like to end world hunger and buy the world a… Ah, forget it, anything you heard about me is probably a gross exaggeration and I really like people. Really!

Elpidio Ebuen, Jr., Sannohe-machi

 

Good question. When I find out, I'll let you know!

Brenda Kennedy, Fujisaki-machi

I love the microphone, Japanese convenient store food, and chopsticks.

Kate Naughter, Noheji-machi

A quid-slurping, sumo watching, Amuro listening, break dancing, bug smashing, bus riding,video renting, hyaku-en shopping machine!

"Remember, no matter where you are, you're always there."

Roger Altizer, Hirosaki-shi

 

I'm a chemical engineer who knows no Japanese at all yet (except what I have learnt in the past three weeks) with no formal teaching or language qualifications on JET, leaving my fiancée for at least three years!

Oh well c'est la vie! I'm going to do everything I can from learning tea ceremony, karate and of course all that kanji!

P.S. I can't sing, but with a little alcoholic help I can be convinced that I'm anyone in the music industry.

WARNING: Keep those earplugs with you at all times.
