This site is divided into a few main areas, with assorted smaller sections and individual pages.
Main areas
| My work (Japanese translation, interpreting and typesetting services) | | The Bujinkan martial arts (in which I train) |
| My "home town" (the village of St Nicholas-at-Wade, in Kent, England: including lots of old photos) | | Hoodening (an East Kentish tradition, performed just before Christmas). |
|
| Music: specifically, a set of links for Music in Thanet, a page about the Thanet Light Orchestra, and an extensive site about the Thanet Music & Drama Festival (all now moved elsewhere). Also one page about my own musical background and tastes. | ||
Individual pages etc.
 | Alternative communities: Schloss Elmau in the Bavarian Alps and Atarashiki-mura in Japan |  | Weizenbier (wheat beer) and Tegestology (beer mats) | ||
 | My family (past and present) |  | Rubik's Cube (I was local champion) | ||
 | Japan (Hiroshima, Sanya, Igo, etc.) |  | Computers: OS/2 (Windows done properly!), free miniapps | ||
External links to other topics I am interested in and may write further about in the future:
 | Gorillas (If you want to know why I'm interested, click here) |  | Veganism -- a form of vegetarianism I have used for over fifteen years, with no meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, or regrets. ;-) It's also worth keeping an eye on Ronald McDonald. |
 | Hitch-hiking (At my peak I was hitching distances equivalent to once around the world every two years, although most of it was in Europe and Japan.) |  | Juggling (Something I picked up while hitching!) |
 |
Multiple Sclerosis (a disease with which I have been diagnosed). Please note: while I do appreciate the kindness of the many people who write to suggest alternative therapies etc., I'm not currently interested in actively investigating these, partly as my symptoms do not (yet?) justify it. If anything changes I'll make it clear here. | ||
