Takeda Shingen festival 

Hello!!
My name is Wafy.
I come from Algeria, it’s situated in North Africa, and we speak Arabic, Berber and French.
I live in Kofu since January and study Japanese at UNITAS Japanese language school.
When I was young, I was interested about Japanese culture, manga, anime, drama, Japanese history.
Now in Japan I’m realizing my dream and learning about the Japanese culture and language.
