Hello! Masaki Okamoto here. (My name rhymes with Satoshi Nakamoto...) I'm originally from Japan, and I've been teaching music in Pakistan for 4 years now. I also produce electronic music, and I'm into cooking, technology and travel.
I've been writing about my experiences on my website and I look forward to doing the same on Steemit too, although I'm primarily interested in using Steemit as a place to share my music. That's what I did in my first music post the other day, and I'll be doing more of that. I'll post my second one shortly, indeed.
A lot of people have asked me why I live in Pakistan. That is, like, "why the heck are you in such a tricky country?!" Pakistan is actually nice to live in once you get used to it - especially in the capital city Islamabad where we have foreign embassies and therefore many foreigners too. Long story short, Pakistan is a place of opportunity for me because of my somewhat non-mainstream background. (You can read more about it here, if you'd like.)
I've also lived in Berlin, Tokyo, London and Boston after leaving my hometown in western Japan 25 years ago. I want to travel as much as I can, and I want to experience life in different countries without being confined to any one of them for too long. This is why I'm enthusiastic about technologies like blockchain and cryptocurrency. I got introduced to Steemit by a local crypto guru two months ago. A big shoutout and special thanks to him.
Glad to be a part of the Steemit community. Thanks for reading. Have a nice day!
