The basic Facts:
Born in Tokyo, lived there for 6 years, then Kobe for 12, then Tokyo for 2, now
England for a predicted 3 years minimum. A junk food addict of cosmic
proportions with a distinct love of coca-cola. Has every possible coca-cola item
that is available on the market in some form or another, up to and including a
coke clock, coke towels, shirts, trashcans, and mirror.
Currently studying Politics at the University of York, and playing lots of
Futsal and 5-a-side indoor soccer, socializing, and chilling with Ceri,
coolest Welsh woman alive. Currently I am together with Ceri, happy as a Welshman
in a brewery, or a pig in mud depending on what metaphor should be applied. For
cleanliness the pig variation might be most appropriate as laundry is
subservient to social life.
Family lives back in Japan, so return trips to Japan will be frequent. In Japan,
Brother Johan and his lovely significant better half Hikaru live 1 minute away,
in an apartment to die for, from parents Kjell and Modde and sister Ophelia.
(Bios on other groth.hm pages) Family is the coolest one in the world.
Graduated Canadian Academy in Kobe, Japan, in 2002. IB score of 37, all schools
love that. Friends from that era that are still significant include Jewel, Amy,
Hannah (also at University of York so even closer now than years past) Masa,
Sasha, and Rie.
During 2 years, from 2002 to 2004, intensive Japanese courses to perfect the
language were interchanged with large periods of apathy and general laziness
that still persists somewhat, but is waning slowly. Was able to get by 2 years
with relative peace and ease, only to enter university and feel like and OLD MAN!
But that's all good, because at least there are many stories to share.

Yours,
Sebastian
