Hello, my name is Peter. Mainly, I am trying to brush up and build my conversational Japanese. Particular Interests are speaking about healing and spiritual matters. I am an acupuncturist and herbalist. I also use tuning forks and lasers in my work. While in college (mukashi, mukashi) I took the 3rd level of Japanese (and skipped the first 2). Much has been forgotten since. My main teachers since then were people like Mifune Toshiro and Sanada Hiroyuki. Basic grammar is okay, but not brilliant. My vocabulary is much smaller than I would like. While in school and studying in China, I learned some rudimentary Mandarin . Spanish and Tibetan were picked up while travelling, but mostly just enough to get around, not starve, and not incite any violence against me. History of interests in Philosophy, Religion, Travelling, Meditation, Yoga, Basketball, Outrigger paddling, and Martial arts. I do not claim to be adept at any of those now (nor in the past for that matter).
