Basic Info| Name: | Ash Ward |
|---|---|
| Location: | Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan |
| Website: | Get a Digilife! |
BioThe name's Ash. I'm seventeen, and I'm from St Kilda in Melbourne. Until a couple of months ago, I was in Year 11 at Melbourne High School. Thing is, a few months back, I applied for an AFS student exchange to Japan without really thinking about it. Somehow, I got in. Which is how I've ended up living in Shinjuku, Tokyo as an exchange student at Shinjuku High School.
Did I mention I'm rubbish at Japanese...?
Oh yeah, the dolphin thing I carry around? Stuffed animal. I apparently practice ventriloquism, and I spend too much on photography to afford a proper puppet. Alas, Pukamon will have to do.
More than ventriloquism, I like photography, but in the darkroom, because digital's just lame and Photoshop is cheating. I mainly take action and performance shots (my sister's a bit of a theatre type). I also follow Australia's major international sporting events (someone has to beat New Zealand, after all) and to some extent Australian politics and what little I can understand of Japanese politics. I'm glad we got rid of Howard, and from what little I saw of Australian Idol I think it's probably a good thing Natalie won.
Okay, I seem to have two families so to avoid any confusion, here's a quick run-down of people I'm likely to mention:
Kaasan: My host mother, Terayama Yuka. She's an oncology nurse at Waseda University Medical Centre. Not the same person as...
Mum: My actual mother, Fiona. She's a travel broker and she's finishing her Master's in classics.
Tousan: My host father, Hideaki. He does something for the government. Again, not the same person as...
Dad: My actual dad, James. He's an engineer.
Oneechan, Meg-neechan: My host sister, Megumi. She's a few months older than me and completely crazy. As usual, if I say "oneechan" I'm not referring to...
Kenzie: My actual older sister, Mackenzie. She's a year older than me and the reason my hair is slightly blonde (I'm a natural brunette).
Nic and Dani: My younger sisters, Nicola and Danielle. They're eleven-year-old twins and attention-seeking drama queens, thank god they're not in Japan with me.
Katia: My best friend in Australia. Italian, smart, and contrary to popular belief, not my girlfriend.
Tegan, T: Another Australian friend of mine. A self-proclaimed otaku and completely jealous of me.
My girls: Kenzie, Katia, and Tegan.
Tsubasa-kun: My best friend here in Japan. Completely brilliant at art, not so much at photography, oddly enough.
