Hello everybody my name is Maurice Bakker and i’m from the Netherlands.
I’m 31 years old and work as a sales executive in the city of Haarlem. For all you people that are not familiar with Haarlem. This city is close to Amsterdam and has a really laid back environment and a lot of historic sights. I arrived in Japan last week ( 18-06) and share an apartment close to Oimachi station. This is not my first time in Tokyo have lived here for two years and fell in love with Japan during that time. This being part of the reason why I came back to this unique place. I had a long and interesting trip getting here as I didn’t take the plane from Amsterdam. Have been doing some occasional work as a tour-quide for a Dutch travel agency for the last six years. And this gave me the chance to take the transsiberian express from Moscow to Beijing. After having the Peking-duck in Beijing i took the plane to Tokyo and arrived safe and sound on Japanese soil. It’s pretty crazy in Holland right now with the World cup 2006 going on. But watching the Dutch team play with a cold glass of Asahi beer in my hand and seeing Japanese people wearing Hollanda shirts on was just as great. It’s a shame of Japan being knocked out by Brazil. But i promise you that we will beat them in the final!!!!!!!!! I’m really into sports and like mountain biking, tennis and squash. Used to play soccer also but due to a bad knee injury it’s safer for me to do something else. I’m not really a lazy person although i do enjoy doing nothing once and a while in front of the television. But overall i’m an outgoing person and like to be busy instead of doing nothing. Hope to meet all of you in this great cafe and have the chance to get to know you. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask. Alrighty see you sooooooooooooooooooooon bye Maurice
