Yo continues to work hard to obtain job qualifications and a driver's license.

[Work location] Kochi Prefecture

[Job Title] Special Foundation Construction

I was born and raised in China, and while I was there, I worked for a shipbuilding company.
After that, I wanted to start a restaurant, but I gave up on that dream and decided to try my luck overseas, so I came to Japan.

The thing that surprised me the most when I came to Japan was how much it snows.
When I was in Fukushima Prefecture, we had about 1.5 meters of snowfall. It made a strong impression on me because in my hometown in China, we only get about 30 centimeters of snow.
Also, the crab I ate in Niigata Prefecture is a fond memory. I ate it as shabu-shabu, a Japanese hot pot dish, and it was truly delicious.

The person who taught me Japanese was a crane operator.
In return, I taught that person how to use a computer.
In the future, I want to study more and acquire many qualifications that I can use in my work. I also want to try to get a driver's license.
