I would like to work at UNICEF(United Nations Children's Fund).
The UNICEF is a main organization to support of a right of children. And, They active to protect survival and healthy development of children in a country and an area more than 150. They carry out support business such as hygiene, nutrition, water, education while cooperating with the government and the NGO of the country/community.

According to the UNICEF, many children die cause by poverty or calamity, insanitary, disease all over the world. But, The children have a right to grow up in good health by born healthy and get safe water, enough nourishment. And, they have own life or future,so we/everyone must save them.
There is the way to save children right now. It's the fund-raising. We can contribute vaccine or food, clothes to the children by calling or using Internet.
It's sorrowful to die immediately that they were born.
If I work at UNICEF, I hope that can save many children as possible.

Yes, I do. But it's only a case that the friend who are close to me.
Because I don't used to touching the person who don't know.

Actually, I don't care that I can sit close to woman.

★You're in a crowded elevator. Where do you look?
I look up to the floor number.
Because I want to get out of there right now.

★You're standing in line. How close do you stand to the person in front?
I stand by making a space about 50 cm to the person.
I can't stick firmly to the person.
And, If I far from the person in front, people are mistaken that I don't standing in line.

★You get on the bus. There is an empty row of seats at the back, and an empty seat close by. Where do you sit?

But, If I was distracted by someone sitting beside me, I will sit other seats.

Work Place Questionairre

This is a my score.

●Your score is 50 on a scale of 0 to 100 = Preference for Tolerance for Ambiguity

●Your score indicates that you have a moderate Tolerance for Ambiguity and might be　willing to give up job security for more opportunity.

●In countries/cultures with a Tolerance for Ambiguity, conflict in organizations is perceived as natural, and rules may be broken for pragmatic reasons.

●If you work in countries/cultures with a Need for Certainty, such as Japan, France, and Greece, you might react by creating a micro-environment that would shield you from the burden of what you might perceive as excessive structures, rules, and regulations.

●In countries with a high Need for Certainty, loyalty to an employer is seen as an advantage; a specialist career is preferred over a career in management.

I compered with Japan and France.　

According to this result, Japan and France, Greece is a best place for me to work.

I can agree to it except first paragraph. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　First paragraph write "you might be willing to give up job security for more opportunity".

But, I think I want to get a steady job. So, I don't want to give up job.

Then, I prefer not to conflict in organizations, but I found it was perceived as natural. Almost all companies work hard by competing with each other. And, to cooperate with everyone in doing the work is very important. So, I thought loyalty to an employer is important thing too.

Dating customs

●personality
This is the most important things for me.
Because personality/character express all of the person.

●looks
Actually, I hope that can get along with good looking guy as possible.
But, I don't aim too high so much.

●have a lot in common
I think this is very important same as personality.
If having same hobby or a lot in common, the relationship become more better.

●background
When I get marry, partner's family also important same as partner.
If the family don't get along with him, it's so hard for me.

●Japanese
I long to do international marriage a little, but it isn't easy.
So, if anything, I want to marry the Japanese whom a way of thinking and sense of values fit me.
