Interview with a foreign worker in Japan

by

Hi, it’s been a while since I posted something here on my blog.

We used to have a lot of tourists from overseas in Japan but because of the virus, we have none these days.
I hope things will get better soon and everyone will be able to travel freely soon.

Although we do not have any tourists from different countries, we do have foreign workers living together in the community.
Me and my friend, Aya interviewed one of them and asked about life in Japan to share it to those who are planning to live in Japan.
Here’s the video of it.
