Eco loves eels and is studying kanji hard!

[Work location] Saitama Prefecture

【Job Type】 Framing construction work

I came to Japan when a friend introduced me to a Specified Skills sending agency. I loved Japanese culture and anime, so I immediately decided to go to Japan.

At work, I find reading blueprints difficult, and I'm especially struggling to memorize kanji characters. However, I'm continuing to study little by little and doing my best.

When I first started working at the company, everyone around me seemed intimidating at first. However, once I talked to them, I found that everyone was very kind and patiently taught me about work and daily life. Now, I feel at ease working here.

On my days off, I like to take walks in the park or go fishing in the river. My favorite food is eel, but it's expensive, so I don't get to eat it very often.

My goal for the future is to build a house, start a family, and send my children to university.
