Goals and Aspirations

    "As a family medicine doctor and son of a baker, I would like to devote myself to the study of culinary art to help my patients know how to eat healthily and savorily. Assisting people in need is always my life goal and responsibility. I have seen too many people suffering from metabolic diseases such as diabetes mellitus or hypertension being told to follow strict diet rules. Most of them eventually failed because they thought it made their life colorless, so they rather opted to sacrifice their health. I sincerely believe the training in Le Cordon Bleu Paris will allow me to improve those people’s tough situation. "

Those Days, When We Were in Kyoto

  In the end of Feburary this year, I went to Japan to visit my friend who has studied for PhD degree there since 4 years ago. That was my third time to travel in the Kansai area. Thanks to my friend Moz who gave me a great guide in Osaka and Kyoto again. I experienced taking a leisure stroll in the Kiyomizu Temple wearing traditional Japanese kimono, living in an "Onsen Hotel" named Hanaikada(花筏) in Arashiyama, and shopping in Shinsaibashi(心齋橋), Osaka. (In fact, I bought lots of condoms.) Even though there is no snow or cherry blossom scenes, the trip for me is still unforgettable.
