About me
My name is Francois, I'm a french guy living in Japan, working for a big french company as an System Analyst/Engineer somewhere deep in Saitama.

Here are a few facts about me:
- I'm a co-founder of the successful french website MacBidouille.com
- It has spawned an english version at HardMac.com
- I'm bilingual in french and english thanks to studying at EABJM in Paris as a kid
- There, I also studied japanese for 9 years, but I could barely make a sentence before coming to Japan
- I graduated with an Engineering degree (major in Information Systems) in September 2004
- After that I worked as a freelance web application developer to pay for my numerous travels around the world, all the while looking for a good job in Japan
- I finally found it and moved to Japan in November 2005 with a 2 year contract
- I was hired in Nov. 2007 in that same big French company, working on R&D Information Systems

Bonjour Francois,
tout d’abord, merci pour ton site ou j’ai pu trouver beaucoup d’informations utiles, comme par exemple : ou est situé Valeo Kohnan !
J’ai lu ton post sur VIE for Valeo in Kohnan / Kumagaya, il a l’air d’y avoir beaucoup de VIE ! as tu une idée de combien de chez Valeo?
Si je te pose toutes ces questions, c’est parce que je m’interesse à un VIE proposé par Valéo au poste de Financial Controller.
Une derniere question, est ce que pratiquer le japonais est une condition sine qua none? J’ai lu que tu avais étudié la langue pendant neuf ans… je n’ai pour ma part aucunes notions.
Je te remercie d’avance de ton temps et pour ta réponse
Cordialement
Isabelle
