@ winterpromise31 – I traveled out to Hirado in 2008 to visit some friends for a month. We ended up travelling to Fukuoka, Sasebo, Nagasaki and a small island just off the coast of Hirado called Oshima (best name of an island ever).

@AstralFox – You’re right, I am in a similar position, but I’m willing to learn more and it’ll help with my interest in Japanese history to learn more language. I’m up in the north, at the minute. Near York and such.

Thanks for the warm welcome, too everyone
