Emily▲ Impressions

My very best friends and me (right). We are all very outgoing and love to dress up.

Country : Australia

Region : Rockhampton

Introducing myself :

I think I’m a little like a Meerkat (those fuzzy, cute African mammals) because I’m also really energetic and very friendly. Also I love ethnic foods and foreign culture, and definitely foreign people.

I have been to Tokyo only once before, but I barely got to scratch the surface. I would like to take photos of places in Japan where tourists seldom visit, but the Japanese people visit everyday. I think a lot of people in my hometown have a very stereotypical image of Japan and the Japanese people, so I can help these people have a better view of not only Japan but also its people.

Relay for Life: A major charity event for cancer held every year in which relay teams participate in, and every year I raise money with my own team for the event.

I go to a Catholic school. This is the cathedral at my school. It is also used for the public and is the biggest cathedral in our city.

I went to Japan last September. I took this photo at a shrine hidden in the city of Kyoto. I like it because it’s so different from life in Australia.

This is the view from our veranda at my house. I have two houses; one is in the city and is close to my school so we stay there during the week and this picture is from our farm house. From the veranda you can see a big pond.
