I decided to work in Japan on the recommendation of a friend. When I was in Vietnam, I spent every day just playing around and doing nothing. Now, I'm able to earn money and I'm growing little by little as a person, so I'm glad I came to Japan.

One of the best things about working at my current company is how kind the Japanese people are. I've been able to learn more as I work, and I'm happy to feel myself growing. My salary has also increased, so I'm now working hard to send money back to my family in Vietnam.

On my days off, I hang out with my Vietnamese friends who live in the same dormitory, drinking and having fun. The dormitory is a detached house, and each person has their own room. Living with friends is much more lively and fun than living alone.
