Japanese History
Had a crush on a Japanese exchange student in high school. Learned what I could from books in the high school library (a chapter in one of Mario Pei's books on languages, so it wasn't much.)
Was stationed in Japan from Jan. 1981 to Feb. 1982. Took Japanese 101 and 102 through the University of Maryland, Far East Division.
After a hiatus of nearly a quarter century, an obsession with Inuyasha caused me to dust off my old books, buy some new ones, start hanging out on The Japanese Page and Tae Kim's site, and rapidly become more proficient.
Starting in May 2006, I started writing a novel in Japanese (with numerous corrections from native speakers, most of whom were denizens of The Japanese Page)
Started translating 史上最強の弟子ケンイチ (History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi) for K-H Scans, now Kuro-Hana Edited Mangas, in July 2007, starting with chapter 62.
