Interview – Story in Japan

WHERE ARE YOU FROM?

Indonesia

WHERE DO YOU LEARN JAPANESE LANGUAGE?

Study at「Higashikawa Japanese Language School」

WHAT DO YOU DO IN JAPAN?

Right now, I’m studying Japanese at Higashikawa Language School. And I also take care of my family.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO STAY IN THIS CITY?

In Indonesia, I live in Jakarta, a big and busy city. So when I go to another country, I really hope to live in a small city. Higashikawa is a beautiful and quiet city. This picturesque city boasts clean air and serene surroundings that are sure to take your breath away, which is one of the reasons why I chose this city.

And with tuition fees that are significantly lower than those in other prefectures, it’s the perfect place for students on a budget. Oh ya, at the same time, my husband works here.

WHAT DID YOU ENJOY THE MOST WHILE STAYING ABROAD?

Japan is a country with a rich cultural heritage, delicious food, beautiful landscapes, friendly people, an efficient transportation system, safety, and cleanliness. And it is also a great service, especially for pregnant and childbearing women.

DID YOU EXPERIENCE ANY CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE AND FUTURE PROSPECTS AFTER YOU START YOUR JOURNEY?

Of course. While I’m studying, living, and traveling, I meet a lot of great people, and I learn so many things from them.

WHAT IS YOUR DREAM?

I have so many dreams 🙂

But of all my dreams, I want to live a successful and happy life wherever I am.

MESSAGE TO OUR FRIENDS WHO WILL GO TO JAPAN.

Open to learning about new things. In Japan, try your best Japanese skills because most people cannot understand English well. I know there is no such thing as an easy way; everywhere we must struggle. But you can find new experiences and friends. And don’t forget to focus on your achievements.
