[Job Title] Thermal Insulation Work

When I first came to Japan, I didn't understand much Japanese, which made me anxious. But the Japanese people at my company are kind, and we joke around with each other during work, so I'm enjoying my job.
We sometimes get scolded, but once work is over, we all spend time laughing together.

I am currently studying the use of "urethane" in thermal insulation work. Since I became a Specified Skills, my salary has increased and my level of work has increased. I am doing my best to become a foreman someday.

One thing I noticed that was different between Japan and Vietnam was the abundance of bicycles. In Japan, many people ride bicycles. I was surprised to see that not only students but also adults frequently ride bicycles.

I've been to Tokyo Tower on my days off. From now on, I'd like to visit various places like Mount Fuji, the sea, and Osaka.
I cook for myself at home. My specialty dish is stir-fried vegetables with cabbage, tomatoes, and meat.
