About Me

Im from Japan and living in California to study. I'm totally spoiled by CA's weather. Don't wanna go back to Japan although communicating in English is still kinda hard. I guess I understand 70% which is like "C+" meaning that Im passable.haha Ocasionally I sort of pretend that I understand whatever people are saying to me even if I don't get it.haha If you have any question, just ask me. I'm willing to answer.
