Hi, I've posted a few comments, and then I realized, it would be appropriate to formerly introduce myself as other members have done.
My name is solomonko here and at KGS (2d).

I learned how to play go when I was 6 years old, by watching my grandfather and my uncle play.
Our family has a tradition of playing go.
The go board that I learned was the one my great-great grandfather bought back in the Edo era.
It is about 4-inch thick, and white stones are real shells, now becoming yellow.

I'm a Japanese, but I happen to speak other languages; Tagalog, English, French and Chinese.
English is my 3rd language and it is an acquired language for me.

My wife is a Filipina and we love each other very much to the extent that we are stalkers each other.
That's why we're in the avatar together.
This picture was taken a few hours ago at a Kyoto-style restaurant in Tokyo, Japan.
The previous avatar was taken at a Greek Restaurant but my wife says I must delete it, which I did.

I'm 57 as of now, and after a few years I have to retire.
My wife says I must live in the Phillippines for the rest of my life, which I will do.
Thanks for the internet, I have no trouble with having go-related friends.
