ReadingI currently live in Nagoya. Nagoya is South of Tokyo. My apartment is in the central part of Nagoya. I’m originally from the United States and I moved to Nagoya 10 years ago. I moved back because I wanted to work here. I have been living in my current apartment for 10 years. It’s a very old building but it’s not shabby. It is nine stories and I live on the top floor. The view is really nice and there are two bedrooms upstairs. It’s a nice place for a single man to live. My apartment is close to everything so I don’t need a car. I can get to most places on my bicycle. There are lots of stores nearby. My favorite store is a coffee shop next to my building. I go there when I need to eat lunch really quickly. I’m usually super busy because I run three schools. But I never get tired because I love what I do. My dream is to make the best school in Japan. I will not give up until I achieve that.
