From the jaw-dropping neon lights of Tokyo night life to the breath-taking mighty mountain of Mount Fuji, my experience here in Japan is an absolute roller coaster ride of emotions. Izakaya hopping, Gachapon capsules, and of course, Ramen are my favourite things here. Japanese people are kind, polite and will help you from their heart. In fact, I have overcome language barrier mostly because Japanese people are very understanding; I still speak very terrible Japanese, but they always try to figure things out with me. All in all, it has been such a wonderful time here in Japan.
