I have led a somewhat unique life so far.<br \/>\nAfter stepping into society as a programmer, I moved to Korea and have stayed here for an incredible 20 years.<br \/>\nImmersed in a different culture, I have experienced days filled with joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.<br \/>\nIn 2013, I left my family in Korea and temporarily returned to Japan to start managing a company.<br \/>\nFor 10 years, I lived alone in Japan, looking forward to returning to my home in Korea once a month. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I was unable to enter Korea for more than a year. Taking this as a turning point, I ended my life in Japan and returned to Korea.<br \/>\nMy hobbies are photography and programming. I especially enjoy taking landscape photos, and I share some of my work in the gallery, so please feel free to take a look.<br \/>\nAnother activity I can immerse myself in and lose track of time is programming.<br \/>\nI developed business systems and stock trading programs using ASPX.NET C#, and I am currently migrating those systems to Laravel and operating them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"line-height: 1.8em;\">If you find anything on this website that interests you, please feel free to contact me.<\/div>\n<div style=\"height: 2em;\"><\/div>\n<table style=\"background-color: #fff; border-color: #FFF;\">\n<tbody style=\"border-color: #FFF;\">\n<tr align=\"center\">\n<td width=\"50%\"><a href=\"\/gallery\/korea\/\"><b>Landscape Photos of Korea<\/b><\/a><\/td>\n<td width=\"50%\"><a href=\"\/gallery\/japan\/\"><b>Landscape Photos of Japan<\/b><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"\/gallery\/korea\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/DSC00117_1000.jpg\" alt=\"Landscape Photos of Korea\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"\/gallery\/japan\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/20.jpg\" alt=\"Landscape Photos of Japan\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div style=\"height: 3em;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 1.4em;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/culater.lens\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/html\/images\/sns_instagram_logo.png\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/culater.lens\/\">culater.lens<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0.8em;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@culater_lens\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/html\/images\/sns_youtube_logo.png\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@culater_lens\">YouTube<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"height: 6em;\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>culater | A Japanese Expat\u2019s Life in Korea I am a Japanese living in Korea, originally from Niigata Prefecture [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_locale":"en_US","_original_post":"https:\/\/www.itaba.com\/?page_id=1016","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2572","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","en-US"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.itaba.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2572","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.itaba.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.itaba.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.itaba.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.itaba.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2572"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.itaba.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2572\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3072,"href":"https:\/\/www.itaba.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2572\/revisions\/3072"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.itaba.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2572"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
