My girlfriend lives in Nagano and I thought it was a good spot to learn Japanese because few people speak English here. My love for Japan of course, I am into Japanese martial arts and history. I’ve worked 7 years in the game industry and I’ve always been a big fan of Japanese games.

Working at a grocery store, only part time but I am more than happy given that I am not functional in Japanese yet!

I wish I prepared more before coming to Japan so I wouldn’t have to do everything at the same time. I am not as efficient as I would in my own country obviously, still knowing that it can be frustrating sometimes but so far people have been very helpful. It’s challenging but I feel this adventure can be really rewarding with hard work and a bit of luck! Oh and did I mention how kind people are here ;)
