I’m Takeshi, and I’m 30 years old. I live in a house in Hiroshima with my wife and our dog, Max. I’m a high school teacher, and I teach history. My students are very curious, but preparing lessons takes a lot of time. Last summer, my wife and I traveled to Europe for two weeks. We visited France and Italy.
