Hello! I'm Erica and I chose to go to Kansai Gaidai University in Hirakata, Osaka (Japan). It’s my third week now and I feel like I’m finally settling in! Although that could be due to the fact that I literally JUST finished unpacking…
I’ve been to Japan before, but I’m still not completely acclimatized to how different things are here, culturally, socially and just physically. I thought I’d make a first impressions list, including some do’s and don’ts you would have never really thought about.
Hopefully these tips will help you if you ever decide to come to this beautiful country and ease the transition and culture shock.
