  Descripción

  We lives in a regional city at an altitude of 500 meters. It's a great place for mountain lovers. Our house is 2 kilometers east of Matsumoto Station, about a 30-minute walk and
  is a convenient place to live.
  
  I'm a part-time office worker. I have a husband and two elementary school-aged children.
  My working hours are flexible and not long, but I have to go to the office most weekdays.
  This September, we are having a dog. He or she's young, so it's better if they spends less time alone. Toilet training is also necessary. This is our first time raising a dog. Can anyone who loves dogs help us?
  And I hope you have a fun with my kids.I want them to be interested in foreign languages, now English, to communicate with people all over the world.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  You can enjoy Matsumoto, a city of just the right size.
  I can teach Japanese if you hope. I have a Japanese language textbook in English.
  
  My husband have various work experiences. Manga artists, animators, game creators, furniture stores, takoyaki shops, inventory services, prosthetists, etc. He likes vehicles such as motorbikes, cars, bicycles, fighter jets and tanks. Of course, he loves peace.
  He loves martial arts and grew up watching Japanese professional wrestling and kung fu movies. He practices karate himself with his son.
  If you're interested in his field, you'll enjoy it beyond the language barrier. He is not good at English but a very hospitable and fun person.
  
  I was a backpacker when I was young, traveling to 20 countries in Asia and Europe by sea and overland. Now I want to help travelers.
  I started studying this year to get a Japanese language teaching qualification. I am taking correspondence courses of a Japanese language school in Australia, so I can teach Japanese in English. If you prefer, I can teach you using the direct teaching method.
  I have a sewing machine and sometimes sew clothes for my daughter and myself. I have learned Japanese sewing and am interested in needlework from around the world. If you like it, why not sew something together?
  
  I'm really interested in the food situation around the world. When I look at imported foods, I wonder why the presence and types of artificial ingredients vary so much from country to country. Food in France and India has very few additives. Germany and Italy use too much glucose syrup. Food in the United States is too brightly colored. East Asia is full of additives, including umami seasonings.
