I was studying construction in Vietnam.
I was torn between going to South Korea or Japan, but I chose Japan because I knew I could get there sooner.

The first six months after coming to Japan were tough, but I gradually got used to it. I learned the job by carefully observing how others worked and thinking about "why they did it this way."

One thing that surprised me in Japan was the way people dispose of their trash. I once got scolded for putting out my trash on the wrong day.
Also, I didn't know how to receive mail. At that time, a Japanese senior colleague drove me to the post office and showed me how to do it.

Now I am Specified Skilled Worker (ii) and am doing my best to work in Japan for a longer time.
I want to build my own house in Vietnam someday.
I want to continue working and saving money so that I can live with my wife and children.
