First impression as an international student

The first impression upon arrival to your new country will always be very special. However, the feelings will vary greatly from person-to-person. Many people feel incredible joy and excitement but there are others who start crying in fear and wondering “What have I done?”.

What have I done? - eyes
Eyes from a young boy that explains it all. : )

Like others i want to go to Japan too. Though i am slightly worried about getting there are thinking, “what am i doing, why am i here?” deep down i know it is something i went to do so badly and i would benefit from it so much.

Well, it is a cultural shock ofcourse, but you must look at it as a challenge! Nobody should regret going to study abroad.
