About Me

Notice
As I have got 100 messages and couch requests per month, I do not have enough time to deal with all of them. And, I will be in Uganda from Feb to Mar, so super damn busy just right now. I think it is possible for me to make some time for CS from April. Thanks!!

CURRENT MISSION

trying to be a good tour-guide and host for you!!

ABOUT ME

I am a freelance photographer, who want to be a photo-journalist. I have just finished traveling around the world for 50 countries for nearly 500 days in 2011-2012. Like to talk, drink, and play sports, but dislike night life like clubbing and such, except for Sheesha. Sometimes I am go outside of Japan for photo-taking.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is just a matter of struggling, never expect it as stable.
