New ALT in Maebashi

Hey everyone, my name is David Shaw, and I'm going to be a new ALT in Maebashi! I'm from Miami, so it'll be very interesting to live in a colder climate and a place that actually has elevations of some type.

I'm 22 years old, and I graduated from FIU with a major in Asian Studies, and a minor in International Relations. I like to run, draw, write, and listen to music. I hope to meet you guys in Japan! :)

Welcome to Gunma, David!

Welcome to Gunma, David!

Hey there

hey David. Welcome to Gunma and Maebashi. I'll still be here when you arrive and am living in Maebashi. It's a nice place and I'll do my best to show you around.

By the way, I'm originally from Florida, although I moved at the end of elementary school. But I still have lots of family both in Tallahassee and in Boca Raton. Just sharing.

Welcome to Gunma, David!

Hello David (aka "new Terry")

Welcome (soon) to Gunma!!!
I'm also living in Maebashi, not anywhere near Brent...and if you're living in Terry's old apartment, not anywhere near you either. We're spread out, BUT, Maebashi ALTs do their best to get together for good times as often as possible! You're coming to a great city and prefecture!

All the best as you prep for the move!
Looking forward to meeting you in person!

hey david

Hey david, I just moved to Maebashi a few weeks ago for the second time. I'm from Tampa, but let me tell you Maebashi is still pretty hot right now. Anyways I'm a graduate student at Gunma University here in maebashi and I'm looking to make some friends here as all my old friends don't live here anymore. If you need help finding anything in town or want to go out for a beer (please I need a drinking buddy). Hit me up.
