Hello everyone! My name is Chisato. I’m from Japan.I go to a university in Japan, and I took one year off to come here.

What brings me here?I have many reasons, so I’ll tell you one. It is to want to be inspired. In my whole 22 years of life, I’ve always studied hard, played basketball, and done something as a normal girl in the peaceful countryside of Japan. I sometimes felt bored of my life. NYC has a lot of interesting things for me. First of all, I like walking around the city, going to museums and shopping. And also after coming here, I made many friends who are artists, they are totally different from me. I like talking with them. When I do these things, I feel another part of me is filled with new things.

The time to leave here is coming but I’d like to enjoy exploring and stay safe!!
