Hi.

Um... well in fact i'm not exactly looking for people to introduce ME to Japan ( heh... i don't think i need to be ), rather people who have the confidence that they can introduce the real Japan to just about anyone. This may not be the most ideal place to ask this, however i figured that most people who fall into this category would probably already doing something like this on here... for the sake of informing others and keep their own memories alive.

My take on this... i mean the real Japan... has been made into a sort of personal ( visual ) guide with my photos, which you'd probably find by my username, though just saying so is already against the rules, i'm sorry.

I'd like to expand (my and) other's view on the country as much as i can, to broaden the currently not so real impressions people have before they actually visit the real Japan... i don't know... to get over the stereotypes and let people have some real ideas on what it's like.

So...
If you're into this... i mean have the confidence to be able to provide people with such insight, and / or your own views on any aspect of the country that you feel under or misrepresented... would you contact me ?

This isn't exactly a mission rather just a project. An idea of sorts.

Anyways, whatever your ideas are on this, they are most welcome.

Have a fun day!

That's a very nice site w/great photos. The photos of some areas, like Kibune/Kurama, are more extensive than I have seen in other places.

I am not sure that just posting your link is considered advertising here. Unless you are running a commercial site and get money for selling the photos or for advertising. I don't see anything about buying the photos on your site and I don't see you mentioning any particular businesses in your discussions; did I miss that part?

Do you make any money off of your site or not?

You haven't missed the commercial parts, for there aren't any. The pics aren't for sale, anyone can use them if we're credited in the publication. Currently the site doesn't make any money. It would be great if it did for traveling the country costs money - and that way we could expand it with more and more albums without going broke.

For now i'm just trying to find pepople who'd be interested in contributing some helpful, insightful articles on our pages that would be in accordance with the way we present the country. Areas of interests we didn't or didn't want to cover ourselves for it would have been uninformative or... just plain boring for we don't have the personal attachment to the topic. For example i could go on for hours about shopping, pop culture, food, clothing but would be puzzled if it came to a history lesson, business or adventure travel.

And we'd like to be able to provide all the things people used to be interested in when it comes to Japan, however can only write semi-entertainig introductions in english if we are interested in the topic ourselves.

Am I missing something here? How do we find your site? Email you?

Thanks,
Judy

btw, if you do need to email the link, could you please send it to my screenname at aol.com? Thanks.

Just google his screen name as he suggested in his original post ("which you'd probably find by my username&quot...

Oh. I tried to find his site from his screenname by clicking on his screenname. It wasn't clear, at least to me, that we needed to do a search using his screenname. Thanks.
