■Exploring Japan.

 

Some people are unaware that Japan is the first country I’ve ever visited. It is also the place I’ve wanted to go since I was a child. Many people ask me “Why did you decide to go to Japan?” To answer that question, I can’t say I ever had a particular reason, but over time, I became more and more interested in Japan.

 

In my home country in America, I would eat Japanese food, attend cultural festivals, and even began to try to self teach myself a few words and phrases in Japanese.  I often saw travel videos of people visiting Japan, and felt I HAD to go and experience it myself!

 

I really wanted to make friends in Japan, experience the culture, and learn the language because I always thought it was beautiful. I still have a lot of language learning to do, but the experiences I’ve had in Japan, and people I’ve met are unforgettable, and I hope to have more wonderful memories in the future!

 

憧れの日本ですばらしい思い出をつくられ、本当によかったですね。
