I am here in the Philippines!

I just came back to my second home town Philippines!
This time just to rap up my 1 and half year stay here.
Very short stay.... :-(

Coming back to here, I really find myself with full of joy!
It's flowing out of inside my body!
Happy relaxed people, flexible and easy transpo Jeepny and tricycle ( I really like to take Jeep! What do I like about jeep? Squeezed people, no time table, very wild driving, having strong wind on my cheek, passing "Bayad" people to people to the driver.... I am 200% sure that it can't function in Japan!), warm weather through out a year, no water half a day at home, Philipino time and my dear people there!
Everything I was missing in Japan are here and it makes me so happy.
I feel like I am alive!

I thank Philippines for waiting for me here.
I missed you so much.
And I will miss you again.

welcome to my life!

hello people!!!

My name is Ryoko.
I am 30 years old Japanese woman.

Since I graduated from my university I went to many places and met so many people.
That's my tresure in my life.
After 1 and half year staying inManila, Philippines while working in a NGO for rural development, I came back to Japan, my hometown Kyoto.
Now I am about to start another life away home again but this time in rural japan.

I want you to accompany with me to my life here in Japanese organic farming community and NGO promoting organic farming.

Welcome to my Life!
