Question
dear Donald,
How do you do!! I dont know who you yet I say hello to you..I thought it would be nice to seek some help from the expert..
I would like to be in touch with again with my old Japanese girl friend. I met her when we were in Chicago, at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, we lived together about 2 years back in 1994-96..then she had to go back to JPN.I kept in touch with a for a while then we werent able to keep up the long distance relationship.. I only know her name,age,old address in Nagano where I also have been in 1995 with her..and her old telephone number in Nagano..obviously the number is in service..
I do not believe that she still lives in Nagano..
I do not speak Japanese by the way..If I give you all the above infos of her, can you find the person?? or where should I start??
thanks for your cooperation in advance and look forward to hearing from you soon??..

Answer
Dear Anthony,

If you both have been out of touch for that long, she probably doesn't want to contact you.  If you do want to get in touch, you can try her name in Japanese characters on yahoo.co.jp.  Do you have email or anything like that? You might try putting an ad on metropolis.co.jp or tokyo.craigslist.com.  You can try maps.google.com with the address.  

I won't be able to help you contact her though, sorry.  I just don't do that kind of service.


Best regards,

Donald Nordeng
