Thank you for your kindness to take the time to be here.......

As I have introduced myself (in My Room), I am currently studying psychology, especially focusing on the Crosscultural Counseling. I have got quite a bit of experience living abroad, and indeed feel thankfulness to everybody who supported my stay there so I believe I should do something to pay back, and this is one of the reasons..... Secondly, I've got now much interest in helping the people who are fresh to the Japanese culture, 'cause I meet foreigners in my daily life thanks to the nature of my profession, and I have long been seeking for a better way to assist them.I wish I could collect any sort of information from your first hand experience in Japan, in order to find one way or another to support you in a better way in the near future. Thank you very much for your thoughtful assistance.
