Nice to meet you. I lived in Japan for several years and had many wonderful experiences. I also resided S. Korea for a couple of years. I love languages jn general, cooking (mostly Japanese), music and karaoke, reading, the outdoors, photography, and things philosophical. Inspiring Quote: 小さな島国で独自の文化と社会を発展させてきた日本、考えや基準行動が似ている人たちが多い中で、変化や新しいものを見つけるのは難しいです。そして、知らぬ間に安心してしまっています。しかし、少し勇気を出して、違う世界に飛び出せば外との違いだけでなく、自分の内に何か新たな発見ができるかもしれません。 星の王子・王女たちの留学物語3 丹羽 健夫 The small island nation of Japan developed its own unique culture and society. In this society where many people share similar thoughts, standards, and behaviors, it is difficult to find change or new things. And before we know it, we grow comfortable with it. However, if we muster a little courage and jump into a different world, we might discover not only differences from the outside, but also something new within ourselves. “Study Abroad Stories of Little Princes and Princesses” Vol.3 Takeo Niwa ## About - **Age**: 48 - **Location**: California, United States - **VIP Member**: Yes ⭐ ## Languages ### Native Language **English** ### Learning - **Japanese** (Level 4) ## Interests & Hobbies Literature, Language Learning, Linguistics, Poetry, Philosophy, Bibimbap, Milk Tea, Baking, Japanese Cuisine, Korean Cuisine, Desserts, Jazz, Rap, J-pop, BLACKPINK, LE SSERAFIM, Classical Music, Hip Hop, MMA, Skiing ## Career & Education **Occupation**: Teacher, Writer ## Travel **Places to Visit**: Japan, Japan, Japan, Many other places around the world ## Community Stats - **Followers**: 275 - **Following**: 405 - **Moments**: 31 - **Language Exchange Sessions**: 29 - **Learning Points**: 4,218 - **Corrections Made**: 111 ## Recent Moments 1.
