One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Japan;
Travered by hitch-hiking accrosed Japan from The north end(Cape Souya where close by Sakhalin, Russia) to the South end(Cape Sata in kyusyu) in middle-WINTER. I got frostbite on my feet, fingers, and lips. However, I'd never given up.
Finally, took 32 cars and did it!

abroad;
I accroos the Canada by only hitch-hikking with tent and sleeping bag.
From St. John's New Found Land to Vancouver B.C., it has 8000 km long.
It took for about one month and 80 hitchhiked cars.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can make and introduce many Japanese "ORIGAMI".
ORIGAMI is to make some stuff using folded papers . It's used to be Japanese traditional kids play and toy!
Will teach you how to make some animals or japanese things using papers.

I like cooking too!
When I was young, used to help out with cooking.
Therefore, I can cook many kind of Japanese dishes.
Through a trial and error process, I can cook in abroad using local stuff instead of Japanese one.
I can show, teach and write down how to cook Japanese meal if you want:)
