We arrived at 7am in Chitose, Hokkaido, Japan last February 10. It was a great, new experience. It was my first time see the snow. When we arived I ran outside the airport to see snow. I’m like a child playing. It was very cold, my feet and hand were feel numb. It was really amazing. I never imagined in my whole life that I can experience winter because we all known Philippines is a Tropical country. It was a dream come true.I really love it. I’m overwhelmed.
I’m inlove with this country. The foods, places and people were really good. Japanese people were polite and nice although there was a language barrier because they don’t usually speak english, but what’s really amazing was they were try their best to help me. Japanese people are thoughtful and caring, but one thing for sure is you need to follow their rules or laws in their country because Japanese are very strict about that, so if you don’t want to be in trouble you should always follow their laws because they can easily notice if you don’t follow. Some Japanese, they don’t want to be interrupt, for example you can’t block their way and you can’t speak loud in public.
Japan also known for the cleanliness. That’s their culture. They are very discipline. People not only keep their houses clean but they also make sure the street is clean.
My Japan trip was memorable for me. Why? Because I experienced many different things, for example I was given the chance to encounter Alpaca, a kind of animal look likes half sheep and half camel. I never imagined that this adorable animal was exist. Other thing, the bear encounter, it was very huge and cute. I thought bear was aggresive, scary and dangerous but when I saw them inside the cage my heart melt coz they were so cute and asking for food. Feels like I want to hug them but we all know that it can’t be happen, they are still wild animals that can hurt people.
Overall experience was amazing. I know its not enough to explain here, but I will keep my memories here for lifetime, that’s why I made this video. Even though it’s not good for you but for me it’s a part of my life that I will keep forever.
