Hi, everyone. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I come from Vancouver, Canada. A lot of people love Vancouver. I love it, too, but I have to say that Vancouver's weather stinks. Too many cloudy days and too much rain; even David Duchovny thought so.

I was born in Vancouver in 1973. Until my mid twenties, I'd spent most of my life there, but then I began to be fascinated with Asia and things Asian. That explains my having lived in Korea and Japan for several years. A word to anyone who has the itch to come to Asia: Korea and Japan are great places to live!

OK, enough, I won't bore you to death with too much monologue. On the next page you can see some snapshots from my personal photo album. Best wishes,
