Twenty years in, still curious
Retired US Marine. English teacher here since 2010, private tour guide since 2022. I've studied Japanese history extensively — including Hiroshima's pre-war history, the part of the story most tours skip.
I've been married to the same great lady since 2003. We have two grown daughters, both bilingual and educated in Japan. This isn't a city I visit; it's where my family lives.
