*Do read the Additional Info section of My Home prior to requesting to stay.

I'm currently working in Tokyo with a company that does not require me to speak Japanese, so my Japanese is unfortunately very basic. I'm still new as well to Japan, but I'm always willing to explore around and try new things (except eating squid and octopus).

Teach, Learn, Share

Well I could share with you some Indonesian cultures I am familiar with, as well as the history. Or some local phrases which we could exchange!
I could knit, but I'm not sure how many of you are interested in learning that..
...and probably teach you basic salsa or kizomba steps.
Oh, and I could teach you some traditional Indonesian songs.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Experiences. Books, if any. And probably e-books. And my jazz playlist.
