That was sort of mind-blowing for me because I had never thought about it before. But of course, if I had paid attention to history I would know that the history of China and Japan have been intermingled for centuries. Once I had found that out I found that I could increase my Japanese vocabulary a little bit,step by step. Of course, I am also learning English which is at the forefront of my studies. So I cannot allocate too much time to learning Japanese.
Nevertheless, I will still continue to be fascinated by Japanese culture, some of it is so weird I can’t understand where they are coming from, which is why I want to learn the language to try to get inside their heads. Walking around the streets of Tokyo and Osaka was amazing and I felt right at home there, so maybe I have someaffinity with the country. I came back from Japan with a suitcase full of comics and videos so when I have some time on my hands I can settle down and try to make sense of them. Who knows, maybe one day, I will become good enough to go to university there. Of course, I’ll probably have to convince my mum that it’s a great idea and that will be my hardest test.
