Sahil : My First Time in Japan
My interest in Japanese culture and language increased as I
got older. I grew up with anime such as Dragon Ball, Inuyasha and many others.
I started to think about life in Japan when I was in high school. After
college, I decided to apply for an English teaching position in Japan. When I was accepted,
I was super-excited for the journey ahead. I knew that there would be
challenges that I would have to overcome, but that made it all the more exciting.
When I arrived in Japan, I was nervous as well as excited. It
was going to be my first stay abroad for a long period of time. I didn't know
what to expect. It was all new for me.
On the night of my arrival, I went to a small yakitori bar and enjoyed
some delicious yakitori along with a cold glass of beer. I couldn't believe that I was
finally in Japan, and that I was living my dream. Everything was exciting, from
convenient stores to small restaurants. I
started to explore Osaka, seeing places like
Osaka Castle, Tennoji Zoo, Namba and Dotonbori. It was all so much fun.
Recently, I visited Kyoto again to
see a festival. Also, I went to Takayama in Gifu. It was covered in snow and we
went snowboarding, visited temples and relaxed in an onsen. This was my
most recent experience. I'm looking
forward to many more experiences to come.
