Peter is an Australian entrepreneur and has been a permanent resident of Japan since February 1994. Making his start fresh out of University, Peter came to Japan on a working holiday visa with just a little over $400 to his name. He turned the challenges of living in a foreign country without speaking the local language into opportunities and within a few years moved from English teaching to self-financing several business ventures including GaijinPot.com Japan's most popular web site for foreigners. Peter is passionate about helping foreigners live and work in Japan. Now, Peter's entrepreneurial investments span throughout Asia from Tokyo to Hong Kong and Shanghai and include popular web sites such as: gaijinpot.com, japantoday.com, ecentral.jp, realestate.co.jp, chinasplash.com.
