Hi, I'm Allister, originally hailing from the snowy reaches of Montreal, Canada. I totally lucked out and live in one of the nicest areas of Tokyo, Inokashira - Oakhouse Kickijoji 2. I am a professor of design and language at Tokyo University of Technology. I also run a graphic design business on the side.

I have a huge family (of dubious origin) spread out across most of the planet, so travel has always been like second nature.
I miss my steak, my red wine, my morning espresso and New York Times crossword. I may not always speak fondly of Tokyo or Japan in general, but my experience living here is invaluable.
