Japan: Loving And Learning More About My Country

Yes. I learned new things about the culture that I had not experienced. I made many new friends, countless countless memories, and fulfilled my dream of living as a student in Japan. It has shown me also that although I love Japan, I don't think I would live there. Visit often, but not live.

Japan: Socially Amazing, But Academically Lacking

I met so many international people as well as native Japanese people and I feel like you can only get that experience if yo...

How Badly Do You Want To Go To Japan?

It was definitely worthwhile in the sense that it made me realize that I DON'T like Japan that much and DON'T want to live and work there like I had originally thought. In that sense it saved me the trouble of getting a job there and being committed to living there for several years and likely growing to hate it. I learned a l...
