A comment:

Hello everybody, my name is Yukino Aoshima. You can call me as Yuki! I'm originally from Tokyo, Japan. I was born in the Northern part of Japan, Fukushima, but my family moved to Tokyo right after I was born. I do speak Japanese fluently and I'm trying to learn Spanish at school right now. I've been here in the United States for 3 years. I went to language school for a year after I graduated high school and came here to Las Vegas to study hotel. I'm majoring in Hotel Management, and I'm thinking about FAB as a minor. I'm in love with food and beverage so much! I prefer to cook, bake and make variety of drinks to friends more than I do cook, eat and drink for myself and by myself. If you see my book shelf, you see more culinary items than any textbooks for school. lol I think I can live in the kitchen! That is how much I am into this field! I love to have a spatula in my hand rather than having a pencil and scantron. hahaha Hopefully I can meet somebody at International Council who loves FAB as much as I do!

Fovorite Movie: Serendipity(unfortunate accidents)

Something funny about myself is that when I go to a store something happens either at the entrance or at the exit. for example I drop something or I start talking to somebody that looks familiar to me, but in reality I am just confused and I end up realizing that I confused the person, things like that.
