Introduction

     Hi! I'm Daniel from Japan.  This is the first essay about me, so I'll introduce myself.  I was born in Osaka of Japan and I moved to Tokyo because I entered the university.  I live in Tokyo now.  This time,  I came to Berkeley via Guam and Honolulu because my flight was unfortunately canceled.  I've never been to Honolulu before, so I was happy to visit Honolulu for 3 hours.  I took a picture of something which can make me feel Hawaii.  By the way, My hometown is the second largest in terms of the population in Japan

and famous for "Takoyaki" which is food made of wheat flour and octopuses.  If you have an opportunity to visit Osaka, please try to eat it.  I think you like it.  Then, I have studied "control engineering" in my university.  Briefly speaking, I make a robot and design how it moves and works.  Specifically, I have done my research about gantry crane in harbor which is a kind of a transfer robot.  I attach the picture of gantry crane.  I think control engineering is difficult, but it's challenging, so I can continue to study.  My hobbies are watching movies, going to a gym, playing the piano and listening to the radio.  My Japanese name is "Shimpei", but I also have an English name "Daniel"because my father is an American.  "Shimpei" is difficult to pronounce for people other than Japanese, so I'd like you to call me "Daniel." I'm looking forward to studying English in UCB!!
