I arrived in Japan last year in April. Before coming in Japan I studied Japanese for 3 years in Thailand.

Becasue I like Japanese movies, TV series and manga. For example I like Shunji Iwai`s movie, in particular the movie entitled "All About Lily Chou-Chou." Speaking about manga I love "Haunter x Haunter" and "Doraemon."
I see. But why you thought to study abroad?
I decided to study Japanese because I want to be an interpreter. I thought that learning about Japanese lifestyle could be helpful for my career.

I searched by myself and I found quite easly a job in a supermarket.
How`s your dormitory life? What do you do in your free time?
YAMATE dorm is peaceful and near the station. In my opinion is very comfortable. When I`m free I I read novels, navigate on the web and go to shopping. Actually I also do some exercises translating Japanese magazines in Thai language.

I would like to continue my studies in literature attending a course for postgraduated students at university. Then, in future, I would like to launch myself into the world of movies and novel translations.
