Hello! My name is Wob. Since October of this year I live with my partner Michiko in Japan....to be exact in Niigata about 300 kilometer north of Tokyo. We own an apartment and intend to stay until April of next year. In April we'll return to the Netherlands where we own a house. This is my first experience with an own website and I certainly will have to get used to it. My idea is to start with my experiences in Japan and later add some of my experiences in West Africa where I lived about ten years. Our apartment is typical Japanese and rather small and I will introduce you to it later. We have a nice view over the outskirts of Niigata with the modern soccer stadium at the horizon.
