あなたはとてもしんせつです。

日本は素晴らしい国です   私は日本語が好きです。

As I said above it is wonderful to be back in Japan as I love the Japanese way of life.

Having been raised in a few cultures other than my own Anglo-Scots one, I am always curious about how people live and so I have taken to time to appreciate another society’s values and even absorb some of the more attractive ones if I could - especially its most alluring and charming erotic practices.

Japan, along with India and China, has a long erotic legacy which we in the West know very little of except through dumbed down popular culture. There is so much to learn and appreciate.  Japan strikes me as a country that is able to balance the pull of tradition to the push of the modern. It’s fascinating to observe.

I am always wary about speaking my Japanese because it is a little rusty and I don’t want to disrespect the culture I hugely enjoy or get arrested and deported for crimes against the Japanese language :)

I first started to learn Japanese as a boy growing up when my parents lived there for a short while before we moved elsewhere.  I have to say that my Japanese was awful with a strong Anglo-Scots accent!  But I picked up much more fluency as an undergraduate whilst having a Japanese girlfriend — such as in Rutsuko with whom I have now been reacquainted — who made me less tongue tied.

In later life I have improved on it with various  Japanese friends as well as Juliette who can speak a great number of languages fluently.

But….

日本語を練習する必要があります…..I am sure you will agree!

It’s nice to know our libertine adventures are appreciated in Japan :)
