You tried to get int ouch with me a few months ago, but everytime I tried to answer my emails were returned. </p> <p>Anyway, I just remembered you have this site. I've moved my site to: www.afronautrecords.com/jonniewilks so come and have a chat with me there sometime. I hope the wife and kids(?) are doing ok. Did you find a job yet? Still yearning for Japan? It's quite pretty here right now, actually. But it'll be sweaty as hell before you know it. </p> <p>You should join us over on MIXI sometime. A GREAT way to maintain your nihongo skills and talk to as many otaku as you've ever dreamed of! You can't keep me away! It's by invite only, but email me if you'd like an invite. It has something like 10,000,000 Japanese users now (it's a Japanese site). Really addictive!</p> Hello again!
