My name is Marie, though people like to call me Ebony from time to time because of my screen name. I like a lot of different subjects; one just needs to ask me and they can find out. I am actually looking for anyone who wants to be a penpal, and it would be even better if they knew a little bit about economy there and such (I am deciding on whether to move there or not, eventually).

I live in the west coast of American and am 16 years old, stuck in school still, and hoping to hear from many of you!

Konnichiwa! Hajimemashite Brian Desu Doozo Yoroshiku. Ogenki desuka? I am 26,Hispanic,and a college student trying to get a degree in Political science. I was a U.S. Marine, but i have never been to Okinawa. I have a great appreciation for Japanese culture, so I took a Japanese College course this summer. I am eager to further my meager knowledge.

If you like Salsa, consider yourself my good friend already! (^o^)

Hi there! I'm Brandon and I'm 26 years old and I'm looking for friends from Japan. I don't speak very much Japanese but I'm doing my best to learn on my own. But if anyone wants to help me learn that would be great and I can also try to help with English too. My biggest hobbies are music and movies and I really like Japanese music and movies. I'd also like to learn more about Japanese culture, but I like to talk about anything too. I love to write longer e-mails so I'm looking for people who like to write a lot too.

Hey,

My name is Matt and I'm hoping to make a few solid friends in Japan. I live in Oregon, I'm 26, married (so yeah, no romance), and I work as a web/graphic designer. I like to think of myself a hipster but I'm more than a bit of a nerd as well.

My main interests are music (indie, electronic, abstract hip-hop - like DJ Krush or Prefuse 73, and rock), comics, literature, skateboarding, graffiti, computers, anime, and video games. But really there aren't many things that don't interest me to some degree or other.

So anyway, if you want to swap emails or even chat online send me an email. Age and gender don't matter at all. Hope to hear from you soon.

Hello,

I'm a 24-year-old philosophy student from Germany. I've been doing Japanese Studies for a little more than three years now, however, my language skills are still rather deplorable. So, basically, I'm looking for a language exchange partner to help me improve my Japanese.

I'm a somewhat shy and reclusive person, and I spend my days reading books, listening to music, writing, drawing, and boring stuff like that. Also recently I find myself rather often filling in strange profiles at penpal pages -_-'

So, if you like, please, feel free to send me a message.

Hmm.. this is the part when you tell something abour yourself?
Well, I'm 16 and I like music alot, and movies...
Rock/Pop (a little japanese too) and I'm in a theatre group which is alot of fun..
what else...?
Food's good! And I enjoy sleeping.. if you can call that entertaining ^-^

I speak a little japanese, because my grandmother was japanese so I'm a 1/4 japanese.
And also english of course so go ahead and write if you'd like. Bye bye!

Hi!

I'm originally from Portugal but have been living in England for the last couple of years, studying and working at the University here.

I love Japan, been there 3 times already and learning Japanese little by little.

My main interests are travelling, cooking, computers, reading, learning new languages, but I have many more interests. I'm a big fan of Haruki Murakami by the way. I can write in English, Portuguese and a little French. I can also understand Spanish, but can't write it perfectly.

I'll be in Japan with my wife on the 2nd week of September and it would be great to meet someone while we're there. Initially we're planning to visit Tokyo, Nagoya/Expo at Aichi, Osaka and Kyoto but we can travel anywhere with the JR Rail Pass if it sounds interesting.

Hope to talk to you soon!

I'm a 27 year old Guatemalan Computer Science Engineer who has *almost* obtained a Monbusho scholarship to study Artificial Intelligence in Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan, If I get it I would be arriving in Japan April 2006.

I have many hobbies including: Computers, Cyber-Culture, Traveling, VideoGames, Anime, History, Legends, Reading, Movies, Vampires, etc.

I've met some japanese people here in Guatemala and everyone has been really great, at the moment I'm learning japanese and would like a pen pal to practice and to learn more from the culture.

I really like japanese culture and I hope to meet many people before getting there.
