	Mark's Hall of Me
		Kinda crazy seeing as before going to college I really had very little intention in leaving the east coast (of America) let alone the country.
		I was born in a small rural town in northeastern Japan (Rikuzentakata, Iwate), raised in a small rural town in northeastern America (Buckfield, Maine), and attended college in yet another small rural northeastern American town (Hanover, New Hampshire).
		Not a big fan of the city, but then there isn't really much work in the backwoods, so you have to go where the jobs are.
