It is very difficult life living as a high school student. Students spend all their all time on university. When I was a high school student, I heard that if I entered the university, I could do anything. However after being a university student, life was really different than I had thought. I needed something different..
At the end of the struggle, I reached a conclusion. That was to travel. As soon as the summer vacation started, I went to the Japan with my friends. The reason why I had chosen the Japan was close to Korea. My friends were so busy that we were not able to fit our schedules one other. We were not invest lots of time to travel. Anyway in our group, one had good at speaking Japanese, another gathered the information on Internet and in books, and the other took picture very well. What was my role? I could make pleasant and intimate. So when they felt tired, I tired to make them laughing.
Houses of Japan were small and elegant. They had the ancient shape. Roads were narrower and more winding. The reason was Japanese wanted to protect nature. On the other hand, Korean usually thinks that development is superior to nature. Roads in Korean are wide and straight. In other words, a large number of trees and mountain were killed for roads. We had been traveling with restless heart. The atmosphere of Japan was really different. I knew that I was just a little fish in a big pond. I had thought that Korea is the only country in my world.
However by that chance, I was able to change my mind. I went to many places like Tokyo, Kyoto and so on. During the travel, I felt sorry to my family because they couldn’t see those wonderful sceneries. I wanted to show those things that I felt and saw.
After came back to Korea, I got the part time job and started learning Japanese to give present to my mother. That present was Japan travel! As the winter came, then mother and I traveled Japan. Japan of winter was different with one of summer. I could felt another feelings. Especially, winter of Japan was known with spa, so we went to many famous spas. The best spa was outdoor spa. We were able to feel cold and hot in the same breathe.
Japan is near but far country. It means although the distance is close but the culture is really different. The more I know about Japan, the more I would fall in love with that. Traveling to Japan gave me a lot of things. So if you are in annoy, I will recommend you. “Go to the Japan! It is really good place!”
