ABOUT ME

First of all, I really hate summer in Japan. I'm an ordinary person who is responsible, caring , and optimistic. I'm not a talkative guy but I think I could be a good listener. I like open cafe in summer time. I prefer coffee to tea. I tend to care about other people's feeling too much. I care too much about how others think about me. It's hard for me to sit in one place for more than even half an hour doing nothing. I like simple design and solid color.(blue and white are my favorites) I prefer quality to quantities and I'm not interested in any fancy thing or branded thing. I basically think money is not an important thing to live (Though, I know we can't live without it.) I like to get what money can't buy (e.g. life long friendship, love, great memories, and so on.)

PHILOSOPHY

try to be happy no matter how bad situation I'm in. Taking action not always bring someone happiness, but without any action we will never get happiness.
Content isn't all it's cracked up to be - it's so important to keep challenging and stretching yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mainly hosting but I wish I could surf at least once a year. It will be great if I can have close friends from different countries through this project.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This is not a CS experience but I've hosted my friend from Taiwan. I met her when I was in college in the United States. We'd been good friends each other and she said she wanted to visit me in Japan during the summer break. So, I said ok and we've had great time.

CS experiences:
July '09, met in person with great Maggie in Warsaw as my first experience on CS.

September '09, hosted super polite Marcin from Poland.

January '10, hosted a great vegan Todd from U.S.A.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some cool phrases in Japanese or some basic words and phrases. (I don't think there's enough time to teach one language in a few days so, just a basic thing.) I'm interested in learning Polish and Italian language. I also want to brush up my English. This is only if it is possible but I would like my guests to cook something from their countries.
