Description
Hi, I am Eriko and am living in Saitama, Japan.
I love travelling abroad, communicating with people from other countries in English,
eating and cooking a variety of foods, what else... ? I am a curious person, anyway.
I have been doing Japanese calligraphy for a long time, and I have decided to keep it doing
until the day I die. I put the name on it and it's " The Experiment of Persistence Pays Off".
I would be happy if I have chances to teach it!
I learned English Calligraphy a bit last year and I will learn Henna Tatoo online from March since
I got interests by the trip to India last winter holiday.
I have been working in a university for 7 years as an admin staff, but I am going to quit soon.
We never know when we are going to die, so I want to do what I want to do immediately, not
putting them off.
My near future goal is to go to the United States to see how the country is like and also
I want to get English shower!
Thank you for seeing my profile. -

I had a wonderful week staying at Sue's home. My volunteer tasks included weeding the garden and cleaning the house and car.
One of my most memorable moments was cleaning the house together with Sue. We were both so happy and impressed with how clean everything became!
