[Job Title] Reinforcement Work

What I enjoy most about working in Japan right now is having so many friends.
At work, I work with people who are also from Indonesia. We help each other out when we have questions about our work.

My twin brother also came to Japan, just like me. He works as a welder in Hitachi City, Ibaraki Prefecture. We're close, so we keep in touch often, talk about our problems, and encourage each other. My brother is a great source of support for me.

Badminton is a popular sport in Indonesia, and I also play it as a hobby. There are people in Japan who play badminton as well, so we get together after work or on weekends to practice badminton together.
Thanks to that, I've made more Japanese friends, which makes me very happy.
