I am extremely interested in the history of Japan.  Do you know anything about Japan? Have you ever been there or want to visit in the future?
I know the first people were more than likely from prehistoric times.

I want to be better than a lathe, more plastic than plastic. I have a considerable failure rate at all stages of the process. If you are not losing work, you know you are not pushing things far enough. I like working on a tightrope and in areas I don't know anything about.
