I came to Japan when I was 26 years old. I wanted to work in Japan for my family. Before that, I worked at a plastics factory in Aichi Prefecture. My desire to continue working in Japan for a long time grew stronger, so I chose my current company.

To learn Japanese and my job, I study every day by writing while looking at textbooks. I also study on my own using the internet. If I don't understand something, I ask my seniors. Both my Japanese and Vietnamese seniors are kind and teach me. That's why I enjoy my job.

One thing that surprised me about Japanese culture is how they dispose of garbage, which is completely different from Vietnam. I've gotten used to it now. I can eat anything. My favorite is sashimi.

On my days off, I enjoy playing billiards and partying with friends. My best memory is going to Hokkaido on a company trip. Eating grilled crab while drinking with the president and everyone from the company was the best.

This year, I plan to take the N3 level of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test. My goal is to continue working in Japan.
