Allow me to itroduce myself. Originally I am from Japan but I have been here in the United States for 34 years. Following graduation from university and graduate school in the United States, I have been teaching Japanese to the students from multicultural backgrounds. When I was a university student, I had an opportunity to study Spanish at school in Mexico City, Mexico with students from all over the world. This important experience helped me understand culturally different value. I often take a trip to South America to see my good old friends whom I used to study at the university over thirty years ago. I am an avid fan of Bolivia's Super Star Kjarkus. Since I missed their last year's performance in Japan, I would like to interview them in Cochabamba, Bolivia in the near future. I am a cat lover and one of my hobbies is knitting, using Alpaca yarns.
