It has been two years since I came to Japan. Time passes quickly. When I first came to Japan, everything was wonderful. A new sky, a new life, new people to meet, and a new culture.
It took six hours from Vietnam to Kansai Airport in Japan. I was really tired when I first came to Japan. And then, my life in Japan began. I met teachers and friends at school. My friends come from various countries, so we all speak in Japanese. The teachers taught us various things about life in Japan, Japanese people, and Japanese culture. This is my everyday life that I know well and understand about myself.
I lived in Kobe for two years, and I grew to like this place more. It’s a town famous for having the most expensive beef in the world. Kobe is also a lively port city with many historically charming tourist spots. Kobe is also called “Miniature Europe” because it was one of the first cities that foreigners entered in 1868, and there are many Western-style buildings here.
You can see the entire city of Kobe from Mount Rokko. It looks like a painting. Mount Rokko is always there, watching over my part-time job and school. And I have come to love it even more.
We are international students. In addition to studying, we also work part-time jobs. Part-time jobs are hard, but for me, they are very enjoyable. I have met new friends through part-time work. I have learned new jobs and how Japanese people work.
Studying abroad can be more challenging depending on how you approach it. However, if you can do it well, let’s challenge ourselves more. By doing so, you can learn more about beautiful Japan, and your study abroad life will become more enjoyable.
