I think Japan is a very good country. That's because there's work every day, and you get paid properly. Thanks to that, my family and I back home can make a living. Japanese people are very kind, and they always support me when I'm in trouble.

I find Japan's beautiful nature very appealing. I also love Japanese culture. On my days off, my company president takes me to Japanese shrines. It feels very good to put my hands together in prayer and make wishes to the gods.

Through my work in Japan, I learned the importance of preparing before starting work and putting away tools.

My dream for the future is to use my experience in Japan to return to Cambodia and start my own company. I love civil engineering work, so I want to work on projects as large as those my current company handles.
