August 2008
Due to my father's work commitment, my family moved quite a bit, both overseas and in Japan. I went to five different primary schools, three in New Zealand and two in Japan, and could never imagine what it was like to be born and raised in a same house till you finish schooling or in some cases, longer. The subdivided house I lived the longest in Japan was one of the mass developments in those days. Every house in the area had same floor plans and there were no regional history. I'm not complaining but friends from older part of town seemed 'cool'.
To satisfy my curiosity, I have decided to find out about an 'old and unfamiliar' part of Tokyo. Knowing someone who is dying to go to the 'Electronic City Akihabara' and watch the Goth at central Tokyo was good enough incentive to choose the opposite side of Tokyo. Add to that, my new toys - blog/video/link/youtube. All was set for an intellectual chaos. Rest is history.
My e-Portfolio is for anyone who is interested in Tokyo, Japan - maybe you are planning to visit Tokyo in the future. I would like to thank and acknowledge everyone who helped me achieve this far to creating my e-Portfolio. Friends and Patsy, online and offline, for all the encouragements and feedbacks, classmates for literally holding my hand to point the mouse at the right icon or box and mostly for the opportunity to challenge my fear of Computer Technology.
Last but not the least, I would like to thank Mr. Takano for answering an advertisement from a complete stranger and giving up his time. Although his interview couldn't be uploaded for technical reason, it was most heart-warming to listen to him talk about his old patch.
Enjoy. Akiko
