A few years ago, my friend painted a black and white mural in my house.
I'm updating it by invite volunteer artists from around the world
They added color to the mural and also added a lot of paintings.
We don’t have any art skills and don’t participate or suggest designs.

While you’re staying with us, we’ll have a get-together at home with drinks.
Let me know whether you drink alcohol and if you have any dietary restrictions.
My roommates are happy to share their knowledge of Japanese pop culture.
They play video games, guitar, piano, skateboard, snowboard, and pop dance.
One roommate used to visit women’s bars in Shinjuku Ni-chome (the gay district).
She doesn’t have time to go there now, but she’s happy to share her knowledge. -
