Profile
i'm living in japan for about 12 years, and now a grad student researching computer vision. daily life is like, wake up, go to the lab, attend class, go home and sleep. also, as many grad students do, i'm enjoying procrastination. drink with friends, enjoy cinema and museum, or just reading a book all the day.

i really enjoy talking with people from different culture, that can give me some idea of different identity to see the world. i'm doing one or two trips during school vacation, and some academic travel depends on my productivity lol.

P.S. please feel free to add me to facebook, the url is showen as the website.

Tsukubas daily
Jun 16, 2004 - May 24, 2008
Vast road, big parks, few people walking, you can hardly imagine that its just 50km from Tokyo. About 40% of the city is covered by park, forest or farm. There are 3 universities, and 60% of Japan's national research centers in here.

Mar 17, 2008 - Mar 23, 2008
i was planning for a 2 weeks trip from athens to istanbul, but i had to shrink the time to one week. and so i could only visit 1/2 of my course. it was a busy trip, but the scenary of those ancient sites saved me from fatigue.
