-About Me-

Hello.

Today, I’ll write about myself, about who I am.

First of all, I’m a girl who is going to a university in Japan. I’m living in Japan with my father, mother and an older brother. But if someone asks me if I am Japanese, I can’t say yes, even I have a half blood of Japanese, because my nationality is Peru.

I was born in Peru what located in South America continent. When I was 4 years old, I moved to Japan what is one of island country in Asia. My father also has a Peruvian nationality even he has full of Japanese blood. It is because my father’s parents were immigrant from Japan. They really hated war, so they moved to Peru. My mother is pure Peruvian, so that’s why I am a half Peruvian and Japanese even both of my parents have Peruvian nationality.

After I was born, my father went to Japan for working, so I had just seen my father only in pictures, till I became 4 years old. I asked my mother many times, seeing my father’s pictures, “This is my father right? So… where is he?” I think it really hurt her, but I really wanted to see him in a real world... Because of me, my mother decided to go to Japan. Actually it was just for a visit, but Japan was much better than Peru, safe and interesting, so we are still living in Japan.

Now, I’m studying English in Canada. It has been since 2011 April, so I’ve been Canada for 9 months. Even I’ve been here for 9 months, it is still complicated for me to introduce myself in English, because I need to explain these things to people who I’ve met just now… orz haha That’s why I really, really hate to introduce myself… :P hahaha
