Hello,my name is Ikumi. I want you to know about me before I visit your house and stay with you. I'm 19 years old (My birthday is June) and belong to KGU. Kumamoto is a good place. I think that Kumamoto is what you call a food place. Karashi-rennkonn is lotus root with mustard, yellow and white make a beautiful contrast. Basashi is meat on horse, if you think the culture is barbaric but we have a habit where we say word that are thankful for food. We often say “Itadakimasu” before eat food and say “Gochisousamadeshita” after eating. This means thanking for food which we eat. We say it because the food becomes our blood and muscles. I like this habit, so I want to continue to do this at your house. Would you like to do this with me? Next, I write about me more. I like listening to music and playing the alto saxophone. I'm not a good player but I enjoy playing. The saxophone's sound is very cool, graceful and beautiful. If I have a chance to play it, please listen to me play. My father plays the guitar and my old sister plays saxophone too.
My family is my father, my mother, old sister and my dog. I love them because I understand that they love me. We live in Tamana in Kumamoto, I go to school by train and walking. It takes about one hour! My hobby is shopping with friend, chatting and taking the photograph!
I live everyday with good friends and family so I hope that I will have a good encounter so may I with you.
By the way, I want to know about you, please ask a favor? I want to use the Internet while I stay with you. Can I use the Internet at your house? If I can use it, can I use Skype there? I hope I can speak with family and friends who live Japan. If it is difficult thing, I'm going to bring a letter to send them and my computer as well.
I can't wait to see you!! Please write me a letter.
