I love Japanese food, especially ramen. Japanese Food is awesome. Also, I have learned and experienced lots of things about Japan and would like you to experience as I have. I love strong coffee. I miss blue bottle coffee shop at San Francisco. This shop is best and unique shops. |

How come you came to Japan? |
 |
I got interested in Cartoon when I was 5 years old. Not real reason, but wanted to have difference experience. |
| |
|
 |
Why did you choose "Oakhouse Kichijoji 2"? |
 |
It is located Keio Line which is close to my job place around.
Inokashira line is the convenient for me to go to Shibuya or Shimokitazawa. Kichijoji has little alley, Izakaya and such a cool place to live. |

 |
What do you do now? |
 |
I am an English teacher. |
| |
|
 |
How is your job going? |
 |
It is frustrating and rewarding. I work full time job and did not expect to be a teacher.
I realized that teaching English is more responsibility if you take serious. I do enjoy teaching at University, but my future plan is not teaching. Final idea, teaching English is interesting. It require so much patient and compassionate. |

 |
What do you want to be while you are Japan? |
 |
I want to speak Japanese and learn Japanese Keigo. It is very complicated. Also, I want to travel Kyushu to eat tonkotsu ramen in Fukuoka and Hiroshima. |
| |
|
 |
What do you want to do when you have time? |
 |
I like to travel and go out. I have been to Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto.
In Kusatsu I took Onsen with snowing. I like Nikko which has natural beauty, architect, and temples. I like to go local Japanese area. Japan has such a unique culture. American Culture does not have anything unique things because of multi culture. |
