First notebook entry: Introducing myself Hi. Kon nichi wa! Nice to meet you! My name is Kazuyo. I'm Japanese female and live in Japan. It is difficult to call my name and remember it... so my friends call me "Kaz" or "Kazzie". :) Kazuyo writes "和世". I like my name. Because "和" means " peace"or "harmony" "Japanese". "世" means "world". I want to make friends all over the world. I'm studying English by myself now. My English is not good so far. But I'd like to improve my English. To be honest...I don't like studying on my desk. But learning English is fun! I love making foreign friends in Japan. And I love to learn English from them while drinking, chatting at cafe, playing sports. I'm really enjoying it. And I love to know different cultures, food of their countries and also our Japanese culture! Sometimes I feel ashamed when they ask me about Japan. I can't answer... :( Because I don't know much about Japanese things! My hobbie is traveling. I love meeting new people on my trip. I have been to China, Korea, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand. Especially I love Australia! I went to Australia three times. I'm easygoing person... so I felt cozy while I was there. hehe. :) In 2010 I had some valuable experience as a Japanese assistant teacher at Primary school for 3 months in Australia. I stayed with Australian family and their son took me to his school. I met Japanese teacher for the first time. And then I helped her with Japanese at her class. I taught kids how to fold Japanese Origami, about Japanese food, culture, festivals in Japan etc. It was really nice! In my future I really want to be a Japanese teacher.
