CURRENT MISSION

To know the Europe

ABOUT ME

Hello!
I am Rempei from Japan. Even though people sometimes said that I am Chinese or Korean, I am 100% Japanese!
I study in Norway as the exchange student and will be here until December of 2011. My major is Global Studies. I mainly study about the political system in the world, especially the United States.

The reason why I came to Norway is that I thought I will never stay in Norway for 1 year in my life. Norway is too far from Japan, so I hardly knew about this country. I just wanted to see the country and people which I could not imagine. Now I love Norway a lot!!!

I like reading books.
I often read books of the Japanese novelists like Keigo Higashino. (I do not think that they are famous in the foreign countries)
I have read some books which written by Haruki Murakami: Kafka on the Shore, Norwegian Wood, and 1Q84. If you are interested in Haruki's books, I would like to talk with you! Also, I really want to know your recommendation of the English books :D

Although my Japanese friends say that I am very friendly, you might think I am shy because I am not so good at speaking English and feel nervous when I speak English. However, I really want to improve my English skill, both speaking and listening, so I would love to talk with many people about many things!^^

If you are interested in me, feel free to talk to me!
Thank you!

PHILOSOPHY

Fear is often worse than the danger itself.
