Welcome to the Japanda Project.
28 July 2006
The Japanda project is an experiment on how one gaijin from the West views Japan, and how Japan views itself.
What if one gaijin who has never ever been to Japan started to understand what Japan and its people are to the world today, and to themselves?
That is the essence of the Japanda project.
Whether you are from Japan, of Japan, in Japan, or have been to Japan, feel free to leave me comments about one of the great wonders of our times, the nation known as “Japan”.
Hi,
Sounds like an interesting project. Would you give the readers some information about yourself? Such as education, age, race etc. What do you hope to learn about Japan, its country and its culture?
I have been to Japan and my wife is native Japanese living with me in America now. I plan on traveling back to Japan with her to see her family. My wifes father is a retired teacher and has knowledge of Kobe he wishes to share with me when I am over next (her parents plan on taking us to Kobe for a tour). Him being a teacher with knowledge of Kobe should be enlightening. Good luck with your project.
PS, I found your web site via Japundit, which I really do enjoy. Below are some links that may help you learn about Japan.

(my wife is from Matsuyama which is a really pretty city and in a place, far off the beaten track of Japan – see link below for her island)

Hi,
I said Kobe in an earlier message. I meant Kyoto. My bad sorry.
Regards,
Thank you Mr T and welcome to Japanda!
