Me & Japan

So, as it turns out, Japan has been a part of my entire life more than most might think.

1.) My Father, before I was born, was stationed in Japan
2.) My favorite YouTuber, Nigahiga, is Japanese-American
3.) We've had nearly 20 Japanese exchange students (from two different companies)
4.) I've always enjoyed Anime, though I watch it more seriously
5.) I always loved Pokemon and Final Fantasy.
6.) Most, if not all of the consoles my brothers have owned are Japanese
7.) There's a Japanese native that goes to our church
8.) I've always found Japan to be interesting
9.) I think the language looks and sounds really cool.

So... for me, Japan has always been there and has always stuck out like a sore thumb. Is this as strange as I think it is? Oh and I'm finally going to visit Japan in 2016's Summer with my little sister (who is also into anime) and my parents.
