Hobbies – Other:

I like literature, art and music. I am fond of picture drawing. I always enjoy visiting museums, especially art museums. I like taking photographs, too. I learned flower arrangement when I lived in Japan and have enjoyed it very much. I do collections such as post stamp, post card, envelope, coin, china, glass cups, and plates.  I would appreciate any assistance from anyone who can help me with my collections, especially in post stamp, post card, envelope, and coin.
