What was the most difficult aspect of adjusting to work and life in Japan initially?
I honestly couldn't think of any. The only difficulty I could think of, was spending long hours at the grocery and still getting the wrong items.
What were your fondest experiences in Japan thus far?
I love travelling locally in Japan. Everything is accessible. My fondest trip to date was visiting Sapporo during winter. The experience was so surreal for me and it made me appreciate and see the beauty of winter.
I am looking forward
to more bike trips, visiting as many Japanese prefectures as possible and more food adventures.

Excite, discover and learn.
What is the most important thing that working at SY has taught you about yourself?
