本当に楽しい時間でした。コロナで大変な中ですが、パーティーなどもあり本当に楽しめました。次は親の許可がいらない年齢になったらきます！

When going into Japan I must admit that I have underestimated the language barrier at first. When I moved in I could barely introduce myself in Japanese, let alone having normal conversations. Since I was not actively studying the Japanese language some everyday things were a little bit difficult to do. However, having the Google translate app really helped me get through everyday life! Unless one has very good understanding of the Japanese language, I really recommend the app for everyone visiting Japan. Furthermore, everyone living here is very very nice, friendly and willing to help if you have any questions or problems whatsoever! I have made very good friends with everyone living here and I am sad to say that I have to go back home.
