ABOUT ME

I am currently a university student in Japan and I study sociology and cultural studies to learn a lot of awesome cultures that I haven't known before.

I am easy-going and open-minded to everyone, even though you will find me a little bit shy when we first meet (which is, in my opinion, a typical characteristic of Japanese). I am really keen to know different culture and meet foreign people who I cannot encounter in my daily life!

NOTICE: Actually I'm not familiar with Tokyo, although I'm living in Tokyo. I'm just a hick born in countryside and living in a suburb of Tokyo for 2 years. Thus, please do not expect me to know lots of lovely places, cafes or nightclubs in Tokyo. When I go downtown with you, it's not like showing you around but exploring with you as a Japanese visitor!
