Welcome to the megalomanical noder's homenode. Oh gee, this is hard. Noding about other people and interesting things is easy, but how do I describe myself without boring the heck out of you.Still, I feel I have to share a bit of myself to be a part of this great community. I think of myself as a Traveller, having lived in various countries in my short life already. Indeed, I think home is where I hang my hat. Born and raised in northern Germany (I still feel like a northern boy), I moved to the southern Netherlands at age 16, then served in the Luftwaffe in Goose Bay, Canada as bartender and waiter for nine months of mandatory military service, before returning to Germany in 1995 to enter Trier University to study Law. But Law being as boring as they say it is at times, I realized that I needed to do something entirely different on the side to change perspectives, and so I also started studying Japanese. At first only as a hobby, something on the side, but soon taking on more and more courses. Had I known that the subject was this interesting from the start... But anyway, I finished my universitary studies of Law, and before starting the 2-year stage period in the legal system, I decided to escape for a while, and applied for a 2-year post-graduate scholarship by the DAAD: Living, learning and working in Japan, my current home. The first year was a study period at Naganuma school to learn the language better, and now I am in the work period, as an Intern at the big private TV station TBS, working on program sales. Although the schedule is rigid, I still have time to explore, but the longer trips have to wait until the end of the Internship period, next summer.
