One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I used to sing in a local rock band in Japan.
I've climbed Mt. Fuji and eaten shark flavored ice cream (although not on the same day). :)
One of my hobbies is urban exploration (haiko). In Japan, I explored an abandoned Japanese theme park and a temple, and the latter was closed due to scam operations.
I taught myself French by playing board games with strangers. Getting a French boyfriend helped though.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can cook, teach you card games and read your tarot (I'm not a believer; it's just for fun).
