When I arrived the first few days in Japan and bought daily things in supermarket, I realized that all the food were more expensive than Indonesia. I knew that the living costs in Japan was much higher than most of other countries because my foreign friends also said the same things with me. What I got from the scholarship monthly could be used for at least 4 months in my home country. I had to save a lot so I can had enough money for my daily life in Japan.
Apart of things here, I also want to talk about Japanese people. Japanese people are very on time. They will feel very bad if they are late even for 5 minutes. This is very different from Indonesia so I need to adjust myself not to be late in Japan. They are also very friendly and they are willing to answer our questions even though we are strangers. Japanese people usually can`t speak English. That`s why it will be quite difficult for foreign people who can`t speak Japanese to wander around in Japan. But I think with body language, we still can understand each other quite well.
Overall, my first impression about Japan is good and I think I will have a very good life here. Wish me luck.
