I was born in Japan, but, was adopted as an infant and raised in California. I do not speak or read Japanese, but, would like to learn. I also want to learn about my birth mother, I have her contact info, but, need help contacting her. I also would like to learn more about my birthplace, Chiba, and the overall culture, beliefs, and ways of living of Japanese living in Japan. Also, gain some Japanese qualities myself.I have a boyish personality, I'm not a girlie girl at all. I grew up playing sports, but don't play now. Light pen pals are fine but life long friendship I'm open to.
