I came back to Japan.
First of all, I couldn’t upload videos and articles much that I was going to. For people who enjoyed reading this, I have to apologize. I am sorry. Minta maaf.
Actually, visiting Indonesia was my second time in life. My first time was this spring. I went there for one month to learn foreign language. Every experience was new for me and I think I had been unsteady.
In this trip, I learned 2 things.
One is that it’s difficult for foreigner to be treated as same way as them. Well, it is a natural thing to happen though.
Compared to last time, I was able to catch up with local friend’s talk and we talked about deep story. Also, I supported Japanese who came to visit the country. Last time, I was like one of foreigners visiting country, but this time, I was able to make close relation as a friend. Even we laughed together or had fought sometimes; there was a time I couldn’t speak fluently and rely on my English, which made me frustrated for not able to express my feelings in the language. English is useful, but whether you can speak local language or not makes the difference of how you can be friends with local people. When visiting a country, you can always be looked as one of Japanese, but this time people treated me as myself, and made friends across the border. I was moved at this. Although new semester will begin soon, I will try and not give up studying language thinking of these feelings.
Second is the purpose in my life. This time, I focused on introducing the society of Indonesia. For my first time, I uploaded videos and articles with the support of HMJ. To be honest, things didn’t go as it was supposed to be and made trouble. But, by appealing the problem of Indonesia as Islam country, I lived every day caring about trivial things. One thing that I regret is that I couldn’t write here all of these experiences. My friends I met there told me they know or heard of or use HMJ. Also some friends told me that HMJ makes them easier to visit Japan and backed me up. I thought this firm is doing a lot more than business. I think people or things that have clear thought of what purpose you have to live or who you want to live, makes people more attractive. Thanks to HMJ, it made me think like this.
Although I haven’t decided my purpose of my life, but I am happy working at HMJ for a while, which made me think about this index. I experienced many things and cannot write here all of them. Actually, few of my friends are visiting japan for a trip or studying Japanese, so I will give them a warm welcome bringing map of Asakusa and Shinjyuku.
Really, thank you.
Also, before and while traveling, I got so many cheering messages. I really appreciate it. I am sorry for those who I haven’t replied yet. I will reply to each when things are settled. This trip means a lot to me and I cannot believe it was 3 weeks.
Where shall I go next?
