Hello,I'm Raku Kawasaki. I came from Thailand and I have lived in there for 15 years. The reason why I have lived in there so long is that because my father is Thai. He studied Japanese in Japan when he was a college student. After that he met with my mother and then moved back to Thailand. Therefore I was born in Thailand and also studied at local school. I speak Thai when I talk to my father, haha.
I started to live in Japan when I entered to ICU High School. It was the first time that I had some Japanese friends. ICUHS has many unique points. For example, more than 60% of students are Japanese who came back from other country like me. Therefore, I could get used to spend a life in Japan easily. Also, I played handball when I was there. I could make a lot of good memories in that club. I love my high school so much!
Now, in ICU, I belong to American football team called Apostles. My position is a lineman who has to clash against each others. 
The guy on the left side is me. We train really hard in every practice. Sometimes I get nervous before I go to training. However, we feel very happy when we win the game! Nice to meet you all !
Hi Raku,
ReplyDeleteThanks for two fine posts! I had no idea you were from Thailand, and that you went to ICUHS. I used to teach there many years ago. I think you look very tough in the photo above playing football. I wouldn't want to be on the opposite side of you (in high school I played tight end). Keep up the good blogging!
