My job
I am still taking care of P. & A. Inc., the company we established over 20 years ago in Japan.

The business is not what it used to be, but we are still taking care of the selection, preparation and distribution of software in Japan.  

I spend most of my time handling the contacts with our partners and looking for new titles to carry.

Game of Go


Life in general
Things have been pretty hectic over the last year or so. A lot of things have changed and we now look for some kind of stability.

This has been pretty difficult for all three of us, but mainly for Julien. Well, this is the way of life we have choosen and while we do enjoy the good side of it, there is no doubts that it is not always that easy.



Playing Go
The game of Go was one of the main reasons I stayed in Japan in the beginning. I now have the time to play again and to try to get a bit stronger.

There are far less Go players in Japan nowadays and the Go clubs are still full of smoke. Didn't yet find any club I feel like going to regularly.

For my friends
Since we arrived in Japan, there were just too many things to take care of and I apologize for not writing to anyone for a long time.  Finally I feel like starting a new life here in Japan.  
After leaving Japan six years ago, I started to do many activities and I still continue: Piano, tennis, diving, cooking, traveling, etc.                   More...

From now on
So far we are still talking about leaving Japan next summer and returning to France. We are still not sure. In any case, before we leave, I'd like to learn "Shamisen", "Kimono" and "Ikebana", three Japanese traditional activities.
A lot of things to do!                 More...

 
 


Mimi, Julien's goldfish

Hello!  My name is Julien. On the left you can see my goldfish Mimi.
I am a student at the Lycée Franco Japonais de Tokyo. I just love playing games with my friends. What I do not like is that we have been moving around too much. Almost each year I have to move and live somewhere else -- the worst part of this is that each time I go to a different school and I loose sight of some of my best friends I knew for years.


I've already  lived in Japan, America and France, and we are now back in Japan. If I could decide, I would like to live in the same place for the rest of my life.

I do like to travel in wondrous places where we can scuba dive, have fun in a 4x4 car on sandy beaches where some people can flip over dunes like my dad did. Or go camping on a remote island during a typhoon where the tents we fixed together just go flying in mid air not knowing what is happening.
The life of a adventurer is a hard one to live, but it has already been 11 years that I am an adventurer so I am used to it now.

Well like I always say with my family -- 
                 En route pour de nouvelles aventures !
