Aya from Japan!

I'm Aya from Japan. I used to live in Tokyo for my university and job. However, originally I'm from Nagano where the Winter Orimpic Games were held in 1998. I moved to London with my husband because of his job and I've been living here for almost two years. I sometimes feel it's hard to live abroad, but I have been enjoying living here.

Before coming to London, I used to work as a claim handler at an insurance company, this experience made me patient and stronger. However, this kind of job is so hard that I'd like to get an another job using English when I go back to Japan.

There are some things that I'll have experienced by the time I go back to Japan. Firstly, I'd like to visit all the countries in Europe. Actually, there are only a few countries that I've never been to in Western Europe. Since I'm going to stay here one more year, I hope to have achieved this. Secondly, I'd like to learn new things, such as cooking a different cuisine, baking or flower arranging in a British way which is something I can only do in London.

Finally, I'm going to enjoy my experience here and improve my English as much as I can!
