A message from a teacher: Jane Mclaren




Jane

Hi there! My name is Jane and I am very excited about joining Giant Steps! I am from a city called Lincoln which is in the middle of England.
It is a medium-sized city with a lot of history (it is actually an old Roman city!). There's a cathedral (3rd largest in Britain–picture below), a castle ruin, a university and,if you are a fan of British poetry,I can tell you that Alfred Lord Tennyson is also from this city! Although Lincoln is my birthplace,I haven't actually lived there for many years.

I enjoy travelling and have lived in several other places in the UK–Birmingham, Windso, Durham and Edinburgh. I also lived in Bermuda for a few years and have visited Canada, America, New Zealand, Mexico,Thailand, Spain, France,The Canary Islands,The Channel Islands, Hawaii and Austria.
This is my second visit to Japan (yes,I love it here!) and previously I worked for Nova!

I lived in Nara for a while a couple of years ago and, more recently,I spent several months in Nagoya. I came to Kyoto in June this year (2007) and after a few months in Nagaoka-kyo I moved to Tetsugaku-no-michi. It is a beautiful area and I love wandering around the streets and temples taking hundreds of photos.

I think my interest in Japan began about 5/6 years ago.I started taking aikido classes whilst at university in Durham and have since read a few books about it. This has led to a wider interest in all aspects of Japanese culture. At some point,I would like to try other martial arts as well as Japanese tea ceremony, Ikebana, and zazen. Other things that I like to do include painting (watercolour),reading books, watching movies, practicing yoga and taking photographs.
So,I look forward to talking with you and sharing stories and experiences together!

See you soon!

Lincoln, England
