I am particularly enamoured by the Japanese language and of course the country itself- Japan. I love the new and old culture of the place, with the interesting ancient history, traditional arts and dance (kabuki)- as well as the extremely eccentric and sometimes atrociously capturing culture that can be found in the 21st century. Hopefully we could find some common interests, like say; Manga, origami, cooking and the delicious sweets. It's not very important though, I honestly just want to know and engage myself with the culture of Japan as much as possible, so it'd be so lovely for a conversation or two perhaps about the place you live- what can be done, what one must try or the unique food that can be found and where can you try the best whatever. After I finish my studies in High School, I'm planning an exciting and thrilling extended trip to Japan, to discover every little thing about the places I would love to visit. From my childhood till now, I have always adored Japan and absorbed myself into the culture; reading about the cultural events, activities and of course, cooking oishii food. I have been studying Japanese for a few years now- my reading and writing are advancing quite well, however- there is definitely room for improvement in speaking and listening. oh dear, it seems that when I talk to natives, they're still a bit too fast for me to comprehend straight away! :$ It would be a joy If you could teach me more about the place and where I can actually find things or events that take place, so when I finally visit Japan, I can fully enjoy and search for specific treasures within the country and be able to fall in love with the culture even more. On another note, I'm also keen to learn French and learn anything I can about France and Switzerland. They're such beautiful countries, and it would be so delightful to engage with the culture.
