Indonesia and Japan have different customs and cultures.
The first thing that surprised me when I came to Japan was the toilets. In Indonesia, we wash with water, but in Japan, it's common to wipe with paper. It took me a while to get used to that custom.
I'm currently using a heated bidet toilet seat.

The company president is very kind and explains things clearly.
When I mentioned that I liked dancing, the president took me to a dance club. Dancing with everyone was so much fun, and it became a really great memory.

On my days off, I enjoy cycling. My favorite pastime is cycling to other prefectures and visiting hot springs.
I also love motorcycles, and my dream is to open a motorcycle shop when I return to Indonesia. That's why I want to work a little longer in Japan and save money.
