Introduction

Hello. My name is Paul Marlowe and I am an instructor of English at Kwansei Gakuin University. I am from Michigan, U.S.A. and came to Japan in 2004. I have many hobbies including hiking, cycling, camping, photography, listening to music and traveling. However, my most recent hobby is making my own beer! I used to live in Osaka city for 4 years, but now I live in Kobe. Kobe is a really nice city and I love being close to the mountains and the ocean. However, sometimes I miss living in Osaka. Osaka has many different restaurants, delicious food, and interesting people. I love to eat good food and I especially like Japanese food. For example, I like sushi, tempura, and udon.
