#33 1 year has passed since I came to Vancouver
Transcript ↓
1 year has passed since I came here to Vancouver. What do you think about going abroad in your 30s? I never introduced myself in detail so far but the reason why I came here is to broaden my world and to get a new career option. The purpose has not yet been achieved and is still on the way. Today let me look back at the past year in this podcast.
In summary, I did well in my school for the first 6 months and did my best in job hunting. I would give high marks for this point. On the other hand, surprisingly, I didn’t enjoy sightseeing at all and I seldom had any opportunities for international exchange. On the other aspect, I still cannot speak English as well as I had expected 1 year ago. I turned out to hear English a little better, though.
Speaking of relationships, I haven’t enjoyed making friends at all, even though there are many people from different countries in Vancouver. To be honest with you, I only have 3 Japanese friends here. It is because I tried my best to make friends during the first month, but got tired immediately, that reminds me that I had only a few friends even in Japan and also my purpose of coming here is not to make new friends. So I gave up in the first month. Now I feel I have made a good decision to live as I want without any stress.
The other thing, What I can say is that I became mentally and physically stronger than I arrived here. In terms of physical health, I am really into jogging around Stanley park where I can access it easily and it’s really beautiful. Also, I started cooking because dining in a restaurant is really expensive. That’s why I’m rather healthier than living in Japan. Speaking of mental health, I’m really proud of my life now. I had an opportunity to speak to someone on the road to get a donation in the class curriculum. The other day, I had to drop off my resume and talk to someone to apply for a job without any appointment. After this kind of experience, now I don’t hesitate to talk to someone on the road and also I don’t care if someone misunderstands me or dislike me. I don’t care if I had mistaken something even getting laid off. Again, what do you think about going abroad in your 30s? You might think I don’t need it, I love it or I don’t understand what you say. Either is fine for me.
Anyways, thanks for everything that I came across this year. I am really happy and lucky that I can live today. Hope all of you guys and I will have a good next year.
