ABOUT ME

I am university student, 22years old, living in Amsterdam for 1 year exchange study now. :)
I was born in Tokyo, Japan. I have lived in Beijing, China when I was little since my mother is Chinese.
I studied International relations in Peking Univ. in China to understand more about Chinese culture and people.
I consider my self Japanese since I was born and raised there. but I also feels I am closer to Chinese than Japanese sometimes.
>>I like to conclude myself as someone belongs to Earth. ;)<<

being in a middle helped me a lot to try understand different cultures before judging them.
so most of the time I am very fun, cheering and caring person!

you will discover more when you see me! ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There're so many amazing stories that I want to share but I would like to pick one in here. :)

I volunteered at a high school for the deaf in Nanjing, China while I was studying in Beijing. I learned Chinese sign language and practiced some songs with my team. we were expecting this volunteer(or culture exchange) with deaf students would be very hard since we didn't have enough time to prepare.
but when I arrived there, I found there're no difference between us and them. We are just people who speaks different languages. students are very cute and cheerful there. They prepared some speech and dance to welcome us. we started to cry when we saw how much they've done to us. This is one of the amazing experiences I had in China!
