About Me


Hello! My name is juli.
I was born, brought up and still live in Tokyo.
I have spent several years of my childfood in Nagoya (age 4-10), and one year in the U.K. for study. I hope my English is good enough for daily communication. but I'm afraid of losing it because although I use it at work it is mainly reading and writing and only a little speaking. Anyway, I try using English here in MySpace. But　もちろん日本語でもどうぞ！　und ich verstehe ein wenig deutsch.
I work in a part of trading biz, handling import and export. I tend to work late, but it's simply because when it is 16:00/17:00 in Japan, European people start working and send me urgent enquiries.
I enjoy occasional Onsen trips. When it comes to overseas travel, I travelled to Europe when I was staying in the U.K. And I really love to travel to Europe again!! During the recent years, I have only been to some Asian countries. I love Taiwan!
残業地獄の毎日ですが、リフレッシュに温泉 めぐりをしたり、ぶらっと旅に出るのが好き です。放浪癖あります。といっても、社会人 の身で長期休暇が難しいので、国内か近場の 外国ですが。特に、台湾！　大好きです！

When I was in the first year at junior high school (age 12-13), my teacher sometimes played pop music in the class. He was a big fan of the Beatles. And the first song he introduced to us was John Lennon's IMAGINE. And we were kind of forced to memorise the lyrics.
