＜About myself besides teaching＞
Watching movies

What is your favourite movie?
I believe that a great director makes a brilliant movie, so that it's important for me to choose directors before I watch.
My favourite directors are; Christopher Nolan, Lars von Trier, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, Pedro Almodovar, Alfonso Cuaron, etc...
I like to watch Japanese old movies, there're lots of movies I want to watch!
My favourite Japanese actress is Chikage Awashima, I'd like to watch all that she's in the movies!

Listening to music

I like 70s-90s music so much.
But I like listening modern music too!
Recently, I really like K-POP! :) 

Reading books
My favourite author is Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Learning new languages

I've been studying French and Korean too.
I'm also interested in Chinese, German, Finnish and Welsh!
I'm trying to study to take Eiken 1st grade and TOEIC 990.

Travelling

I like Kanazawa and Kyoto so much!
After COVID-19 is gone, I'd love to visit there!
Kyoto is where I lived when I was in university, and I want to live there again someday...

This is Sai-gawa (river) in Kanazawa.

Kanazawa station... awesome, isn't it?

Eating Indian curry

I like Indian food because I work at an Indian restaurant.
Though I don't remember when I became a huge fan of Indian curry, this is one of my favourite cuisine... (*´ω｀*)
I mean, I like all kinds of spicy food... so I loooove Korean food as well!

I prefer Roti and Chapathi to Naan.

I love Biryani! Mutton Biryani with Raita is soooo nice! The photo above is taken at the restaurant that serves the most delicious Indian curry in Kyoto!
