Jamaipanese Interview

Today I would like to introduce you to a fellow Japan blogger, Kirk of www.jamaipanese.com

So we have the man, but lets get to know the blogger a little more, shall we?

1 Tell jDonuts readers a little bit about yourself.

Hey JD readers. My name is Kirk, I am from Kingston Jamaica, I am tall, slim and a very proud otaku.

2 Why did you start blogging about Japan?

Japan is the source of or plays an important role in many of my hobbies and interests. I hope to visit one day and started learning Japanese. My blog is a outlet for my Japan related interests, a place to practice my Japanese (albeit very limited) and to meet other people that share my interests.

3 Why have you continued blogging about Japan?

My blog has done well to teach me more about Japan and I have met many friends and been exposed to many things I would not have exposed to if I wasn't blogging. I am most excited about the people I will meet and the experiences I will have in the future...due to my blog.

4 What Anime character are you most like and why?

Jiraiya - respected, skilled, a rebel, powerful, jovial and free spirited. I'm not as big a pervert as him but I like how he is sincere and true to his character.

5 If you only had one day in Japan and ¥10,000 what would you do and why?

thats easy....Akihabara. I've read so much, watched so much on TV and read so much...I can't wait to have a first hand experience making the Akihabara pilgrimage that in my mind all otaku must do ^_^. I'd need 100 times that.

6 What are two of your favorite posts (on your own blog) and why?

The three places in Japan I would love to visit - A post talks about some places in Japan I would like to visit and why.

and
Jamaipanese.com online - My first ever post on my blog that I read from to time to time to be inspired.

7 What are two of your favorite posts (on other Japan blogs) and why?

Prepare a trip to Japan in 10 steps - a recent post on one of my favourite japan related blogs that offered some insight on the steps I need to take to eventually visit Japan

and

just about any post from akihabaranews.com - a great blog that all Japan enthusiasts and technology junkies must visit.

8 Go crazy after this, say anything you like! (but please keep child safe)

If you read this far please check out my blog ^_^

(That's www.jamaipanese.com if you hadn't already figured that out by this far, Contamination)

9 Who would you like to see interviewed next? (Max 3)

Hector of Kirainet.com
R.O. of Blackjapanman.com
Neil of Neilduckett.com

And there you have it. My first ever interview with Kirk of Jamaipanese.

But please remember that Kirk isn't just a Japan blogger, he is also an avid gamer and could possibly cut down the number of hours if needed. ;-)

Nice to put a face with the name. Because of his avatar, I had a different image before.

Great to find that there are foreign bloggers in Japan. I arrived in Japan on 3 April 2008 and I have been searching for some foreign friends in the blogosphere. I landed here from StumbleUpon where you stumbled and reviewed one my blog articles. I hope that you and Kirk will help me as I settle here in Japan.

@Billywest, really? What did you Imagine? :-)

@Clement, welcome aboard. Though Kirk doesn't actually live in Japan. We both write about Japan but I live here, he doesn't (yet?).
