First off all, I want
to thank Abe initiative to give me an opportunity to study in japan with a
scholarship. Although I want thank Nagasaki university staff particularly to my
sensei for accepting me as a student in water treatment engineering. To be
honest one week before coming to japan I was thinking all the time about my
future integration once in japan. I never hope that it will be easy like
presently. When I arrived in Narita airport my first impression was the organization
within the staff work; no losing time during paper check. Once in Tokyo I felt
my fear disappearing because of the smiles shown by people. My first hanging
out in Tokyo streets was successful. I remembered that when I was lost in the
streets but fortunately an old person helped me to find my hotel with kindness.
Since this day I have felt integrated. After that it was about how food change
will affect me?
My first eaten food
was chicken and rice “tori niku gohan”. I liked it so much. In Tokyo I had
already planned my first place to visit once in Nagasaki will be Bomb Atomic
Museum. I went there during my first day here. I was so sad this day. Indeed,
what impressed me was how a city which was victim of Atom bomb dropping has
succeeded to reconstruct itself. Its amazing the speed with which its done.
After visiting the museum, I went in some place like the mountain and the sea.
In the university my
first days were good. I was in the welcome party. I met Japanese and foreign
students and made many friends. So, for the lectures until today I feel good, I
am getting the professors explanations. Finally, I want to whish for all the
students to enjoy well Nagasaki.
