My name is Zsófi and I’m from Hungary. I’m one of the exchange students in the Friends school. But why I chose Japan? I always wanted to live in Asia; this country was the closest to my heart and style. The language is one of the most difficult in the world so I think that’s the easiest way to learn it when I live here. 　I arrived in Tokyo in the middle of august and I started school here in September.　So I’m here almost 6 months already but the time just flying for me. I’m always exploring the city and finding new spots whenever I have the chance. Now I can’t choose my favorite place but my favorite experience all the more. 　During the winter break, I was traveling with my host family. I had opportunities to visit Osaka, Hiroshima, and Miyajima. I spend new year’s eve in Osaka to experience how this season usually looks there. On the first day of the year, a went to Miyajima. I spent there just one night but this was the most amazing place I ever saw in my life. The nature, temples, and the feeling there were just incredible. I was in Hiroshima for a few hours the next day, but we tried to enjoy ourselves there as much as possible. I tried traditional Japanese food at all these places and visited the most popular buildings and parks. I hope I can travel more in the future because there are more amazing cities and towns. 　I'm learning Japanese since September, and now luckily a started to understand and speak. It is harder than I imagined but I practice so much. I hope when I go home my Japanese knowledge will be enough to talk about everything. 　I’m here until July and now I have a lot of memories, too so it’s hard to imagine how many experiences I will have when I go home.
