AFGHAN

- to the Afghan version to the Japanese version -


Hello, my name is Motoe Amagasa.  I am a high school student, a girl, and seventeen years old.  I live in Ibaraki, where is famous for nattou.  Do you know it?
    It is soybeans that are fermented for a long time.  It is a food unique to our country.  Some Japanese people and person from abroad don’t like it, others like it.  Frankly speaking, I don’t like and hate it.  If you have courage to try it, why don’t you eat it?

This picture is “the Statue of Liberty”, which is my impression of America. I wish Japan will become a free country America. Speaking of America, I think America is a free country.  People of various countries come there.  Then, they accept each other and go together.  I think people may as well be proud of that.  I hope we become good friends, from now on.  I want to know you more.
 This is “maguro natto”. It is what tuna and natto is mixed. Recently, it has used as a ingredient of sushi. This is one of the best food for me among the food using natto.



My family structure is Father, Mother, Sister, Brother, and me. The man and woman of this picture is my parents. I love my family.
This is a map of Ibaraki Prefecture where I live.  Ibaraki is the Pacific prefecture. I was born and grew there for seventeen years.
