Hi! I live in Tokyo with my three dogs, and my best friend, Yuko, her husband, and their wild baby, Hinami. We share a three-story house. (My room is on the third floor!) I hope to introduce some of my favorite things and my life with three dogs in my dｉary. I have studied in the United States for about 3 years in total, when I was a high school and a college student. I have worked in Dublin also for about a year as a secretary and in-house interpreter (Japanese/English). I have used English throughout most of my career. English is a requisite way to survive in a harsh society. I first challenged TOEIC long after I graduated from college. My score was 895. Ever since then, I try to take the exam once in a while just to face the reality. My second TOEIC was 925 and the recent one in 2005 was 965. My goal is to get 990 in this life time! We get better as we get older! That is why I joined the Linguist to enjoy studying English with lots of friends!
