The reflection during this intern

Traffic is a big obstacle because the working environment belongs to a resort hotel, usually in the suburbs or mountains. The hotel is more than an hour's walk from the supermarket or the city. It is very troublesome without a car. In terms of communication, because the Japanese people speak fast if you don't understand, you should ask your colleagues or supervisors right away.

Although inconvenient transportation is a hassle, colleagues were very enthusiastic to help our interns from abroad and drove us to the nearby supermarket to buy things.
