Wooohoooo!! Already over 3 months in Japan!

Wow, the time was really moving fast! So here I am, made one of my dreams come true. So what changed? To say it precise: Quite a bunch of some things :D

How did I started? I wanted to experience Japan and its people with my own five senses. Which I definitely did and doing right now. There were many new things to me like the fact that everyone is apologizing seriously, even by some little things. I thought that is just a rumor and everyone is just saying sorry but do not actually mean it every time. Like I know it from Germany.
Prejudice about Japanese people doing the German way of apologizing: overcome :)

I was also influenced by many documentaries and mangas / animes, where you see beautiful landscapes in Japan and also the typical idyllic towns. And I wanted to see this, but I thought this cannot be everywhere like this. I would never had thought that it is in reality nearly the same oO
Wherever I went until now, I always felt like I know this. The nature, temples and shrines are also every time astonishing for me. I really thought it cannot be look like in the movies, but it really looks that way. When I see a movie playing in Germany, I often think: "What kind of place should that be?"

What did changed in summary? Well, my way of viewing changed a lot. I always thought that I am open-minded, but as you see in the examples above I expected things to be like I knew them before. Like that would be the only way things can be. Since I am here, I do not try to imagine how things could be, I just experience them. In this way, I see much more details like before and most of the time I do just wonder. And so I get a much better feeling.

I do not to try to learn the Japanese language so hard like before. But at the same time, I learn faster and better like before. Now I can here a word and its meaning and will remember it for weeks, even if I don't use it in this time. Before, I would have need to hear that word multiple times and would still remember it for only a few days. Cannot say if my attitude changed my way of learning or the other way around.


And a bunch of other things also changed like my horizon for creating food combinations and my feeling of temperature. But this should just be a summary ;)

What did not change? For the future, I still want to work at a Japanese Gaming company. That would be 150%. 100% would be to work in the Computer Gaming industry, place could be everywhere. So that's still the same.

There are good times and sad times. There are funny times and boring times. I know people I like and others I do not understand yet. Sometimes I'm a perfectionist and sometimes I'm lazy. So I would say the basics are still the same.
