Me?

I'm Narise, an alias I made up by playing around with the sounds of my middle name. It seems to be a real girl's name, though. I've had stupid web aliases which I thought were cool in the past and decided to go back to using my real name for a long while, but I found that the content of my Blog might be a little bit of out of place as I moan about work a lot, and as this Blog is public, I thought I'd play it safe. Heh heh.

I look Asian. Fully Asian to most, but my huge height of 177cm (about 5'10) makes some think otherwise. That would be because my mother is Japanese and my father is White British (although ironically I look nothing like my mum and very similar to my dad).
I was born and bred in England, though thanks to the efforts of my wonderful mum (who I refer to as "Moo") I'm able to speak Japanese quite fluently as my second language. I'd been lucky with a number of visits to Japan to see family, and at the age of 22 I started to work in the country as an English teaching assistant. As my contract decides my allocation, I found myself in the winter wonderland of Northern Japan; Hokkaido.
I ended my job as an English teaching assistant after 2 years in a small country town, and started work concerning international exchange in a bigger city close to Sapporo, where I still work.

Blah blah blah...
