I am actually living in Shizuoka-shi, close do Mount Fuji. I've been in Japan for about 1 year and a half and it's actually my second time here.
I was born in Japan and moved to Brazil when I was 9, and I lived there until 20 years old. Last year, decided to come back to live in my country of origin, Japan, after this long period without any return. Right now I am rediscovering aspects of my childhood, my roots, and re-learning japanese as well.
my japanese is not so good, I'm still working on it!
