This is actually my second&nbsp;time to go to Japan. The first time I went there with my parents was when I was in elementary school, so I don&#8217;t have a lot of memory about the trip in my mind now. This time, however, &nbsp;I will go to study and stay in Japan for four months which I&#8217;m really excited about my trip to Japan. My experiences of visiting different places have a big impact on my understanding of different identities and how I see the world would affect my ability to adapt to the environment around me.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m the kind of person who wants to explore the unknown and I&#8217;m curious about everything that is new to me. I like digging inside the culture when I go to a new country, so I&#8217;m pretty good at adapting to the environment and the culture. I think my identity afford me to blend in the community quickly. I&#8217;m also looking forward to the field trip to Fushimi Inari Taishaduring orientation which I would get a chance to go to the shrine and get to know about the Shintoism. This is a traditional religion for Japanese people which I&#8217;m really interested in. I also expect to encounter Japanese people&#8217;s hospitality and politeness. These are two identities&nbsp;that I keep hearing people talking about. I herad Japenese people are very polite to each other. They pay a lot of attention to little details.<\/p>\n<p>During the time in Japan, I can get to know a lot of people from different places and cultures. Since people don&#8217;t grow up in the same environment and culture, they see the world differently, and their identities would also be different. Some people might adapt to the environment in a short time while the others might&nbsp;need more time to get comfortable with things around.<\/p>\n<p>At last, I want to say I&#8217;m really excited about this trip. I believe there will be a lot of stuff to learn and I will have a lot of fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In my lifetime, I have traveled to many places such as London, Singapore, New Zealand, &nbsp;and Cambodia.
