I recently resumed CS after 7 years blank(2018-2025) as COVID restriction is over and my children grew up. I moved to Osaka city in 2020, close to Osaka station. I am learning Cantonese so if you can teach me that would be appreciated. If you are from Hong Kong, please message me.
Interested in Anime

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
My place is 1 stop(1.6km/3min) from Osaka station by JR train. JR is a giant railway company in Japan with a huge network all over Japan. You can also walk from Osaka station to my home, it takes about 30min. If you use Kansai airport we can maybe meet before or after my work depending on my shift. I want guests to be able to plan and act independently. Of course I am happy to advise you but do not expect to be your tour guide. I rarely do meet-up as I usually do not have enough time. I have 2 sons and do not have a lot of free time. If you stay on weekends I appreciate a lot if you can play with my kids. My old son loves to play Mario and Pokemon. I DON'T drink alcohol. If you love to drink and have a party till the night, I am not the right person to stay with. If you really like to stay at my place, read my profile carefully and send me rather personalized request. I will decline most of the messages which seem to be COPY-AND-PASTED or not reading my profile. I am carefully reading the request from a person with a few reference or a person with little profile as I live with my small children.
