About Me

Hi guys!
My name's Shin.
Working as an art teacher in Tokyo, and also an artist (though currently I'm stop doing this temporarily...)

I am on a working holiday in Taiwan from Sep to Feb .
Actually I've just started learning Chinese so I'd like to meet people as many as possible to speak well.

Moreover, to know how they live in their place is my long-time interest. In other word, I really want to see your lifestyle, want to hear about your story, what did you see and what you are thinking.
That's exactly why I'm on CS.It would be grateful if you host me and show me how you are living in your place.
Of course it is always welcomed if you offer to meet up, after all, I like meeting people.
I never forget anyone who I meet in a journey.

To explain about myself, I’m a bit quiet (a bit more quiet than the Japanese average haha) but curious person.
Like to be alone, also like to be with someone.
Although I’m always helped by someone, I'm still looking for a opportunity to help someone.

Hoping to see you soon. Cheers ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn : Language. I'm keen to lerning foreign languages, especially chinese, korean and arabic. If there's someone who speak those languages, I really want to meet. Of course, I'm also interested in any languages.
Learn : Coffee. Since I started to working at a coffee shop, I’ve been interested in coffee. If you can make a good coffee, I’ll be really interested in you.

Teach : Japanese. When I have a chance, I will be willing to teach my mother tongue. Though I am a quiet person, I can tell some language system of japanese by comparing other languages. I can tell some of my points of view.
Teach : Origami. Well, it’s a very typic skill to share with non japanese CSers, but I, I’m extremely skilled. That is to say, It’s not like just making cranes (the most typic one). It needs some time (may be one hour or more), but I can show you my high skilled work of origami if you want.
