Life abroad, I gave my best and there was a good return
by: Yeko Justine - UgandaProgram: Teach Abroad in JapanThe years I lived in China. Were enjoyable and that gives me the courage to try other countries and Japan is a definite pick for me. I went to China, Beijing in particular, in 2010, October. I worked as an Accountant for about Eight ( 8) years, when my contract of work in that particular company came to an end. The subsequent years, I gave decided to give teaching a try. I later discovered it was a new world of everyday growth and development through learning to keep oneself on track with a dynamic world, and to help kids learn and acquire up to date knowledge. Indeed I was grateful and thankful to both my employers for the opportunity I was given to put my skills to task, and to good use. And in the year 2019, October I decided to return home to see my parents. before I knew it. There was an outbreak of the current Pandemic termed " COVID-19. Since then, 2019, when i returned home. it's been quite long and I feel i need to be on the move . For the 8 years i lived abroad makes me a cross national citizen who can comfortably live and feel at home, almost in any part of the world. And therefore my choice this time round is Japan, I want a new life experience. Japan being famous for its technology and a stable country security wise gives me a good feel to visit the country of Japan. I have heard of the famous Japanese Sushi which I have had a chance to taste while in Beijing, along the famous street called "Lucky street" And close to this street is the famous "21st Century Hotel" Which houses the house of Worship mainly attended by foreigners. Along "Lucky street " It's where you find almost all the Japanese Restaurants. The reason for these is that the Japanese Embassy is also, in the same Location.
