What surprised me most when I came to Japan was the politeness and strictness of the Japanese people regarding punctuality. When I didn't greet people properly or was late, I was reprimanded severely. However, my colleagues kindly explained what I should do, so I quickly learned the correct behavior.

Compared to Vietnam, Japan has cleaner scenery and air. That's why I often go on motorcycle tours on my days off. Going to the famous Naruto Strait with my friends is a very fond memory. My current goal is to get a license for a large motorcycle and ride a Honda.

My dream is to one day return to Vietnam and build my own house. And I want to marry the woman who is waiting for me in Vietnam. That's why I want to work hard at my current company and earn money.
