My name is Divina and I'm a Communication Arts graduate from the University of the Philippines. My formal introduction to Japan and its culture came ten years later, in a Japanese language elective class taught by a Nihon-jin. It never bothered me that I was too old to learn a language so different from mine's. Learning is a never ending process----there is never clear point where a person starts to be a student and when a person starts to be a teacher. Let's both learn and teach.
