Leaving for Nagano

Tomorrow, I'm leaving from Uwajima, my hometown, to Nagano where I'm going to live during the training. I'm really excited about it except the fact that I haven't finished packing... oh, well...

I think I will learn a lot in the trainging not only from leactures but also from people who are going to take training with me. It would be really great if we could share all of our experiences.

Now, I'm standing on the start line. The goal could be far away, but I know I can get there.
I'm ready to start!

About me

Hi!
This is the second note. Well, we will see how long does it keep going ... haha

I like writing. But to be honest, I didn't like keeping a dairy online, just because I feel embarrassed to show my personal things. But now I think it is really important for me to share my feeling and experience with others.

Today, I'd like to talk about myself.
I guess some of you already know about me, even so, you could find my different points after reading this.
I'm kind of the person who is really positive and cheerful, I think.
And I do love traveling. Going to other countries, seeing other people and having experience of different cultures are my life work, I believe. Since I went to California when I was 18, I have been addicted to go abroad. When I was 20, I went to Canterbury, the UK to study English. I think it was my first turning point. It had been really wonderful to meet so many people came from all over the world, and I thought the more I met other people, the more I came to see myself. I mean, other people gave me a different point of view and I got a new "World View".
And I learnt that the world is beautiful. So, I wanted to know the other side of this world and I decided to join JOCV( Japan Oversea Cooperation Volunteers).

Actually this is not long enough to tell you all about me, but I'm so sleepy head now. So, let me leave it to the next post. Talk to you soon! Good night~. :)

Thank you for reading. Love you all.

Hello, everyone!

This is my note to keep my life in Niger.
I will try to keep it update, but I can't promise it actually, as you might already know, but I like being busy and I'm really lazy... haha  Well, I hope you will enjoy reading about my life.

First of all, let me talk about myself. I'm going to Niger, Africa from September for a volunteer work. I'm really looking forward to everything that awaite for me over there.
In fact, I'm still in Japan and I'm not going there until my training finish, which will be on September 11. However, my new life has already started. Yesterday I finished my work at junior high school as an English teahcer. And the training will begin in 9 days. It will be most likely a language training. Niger is French speaking country, so I'm going to take French Lessons. 5 hours a day! Well, I really have to study French so hard... otherewise, I will be behind in the training...

Let me tell you about myself in the next post. Must go to study French!
Get back to you soon!


Thanks for reading. Love you all.
