My experience in a new country: JAPAN

Name: ANISHA DUTTA

ENGLISH VERSION:

Hi, this is Anisha Dutta.

I came to Japan in August 2022 from India. It’s been 1 year since I am living in Higashimurayama, Tokyo. This is for the first time I came to abroad and I am really thankful to my husband, Tapas Pal, for introducing me to this beautiful country Japan.

I have visited so many places such as Akigawa-Kanoto (Hinohara Village), Enoshima- Kamakura, Hakone and all over Tokyo. Visiting all around Japan I have realized that Japan is a mixture of high-tech cities with natural beauty. Moreover, it is the cleanest and most safe country I have ever known. Even I can roam around Tokyo without any kind of thought of risk.

To Know more about this country. I have started to learn the Japanese language in an online Indian school. After some time a friend of mine recommend the volunteer Japanese language class arranged by the city hall of Higashimurayama. It is the best decision for me to attend the language class. I got really lucky that I am learning the Japanese language from native teachers. All the teachers in the class are very friendly, polite and welcoming in nature. I want to mention the name of my teachers: Hayama San, Sawa San, Katsube San, and Imai San. I want to thank all the teachers of the Japanese language class for helping the students like me. It really Means a lot. In this class, I have a chance to interact with native speakers. We can talk about many different things such as our culture, food habit, traditional dress etc. other than studies. We can also be friends with various nationality people. It is itself a great experience for me. In this way, I am trying to learn the Japanese language.

Last but not least I want to mention Japanese food, as I love Ramen. Also, I have tried some other food as well. So the exploration of different kinds of food is in continued process. I don’t know how much time I am here in Japan. Already it has become my favorite place to live in.
