Why I Chose to Study Japanese

Japan is a country not only so full of culture, but also fosters great innovative minds. I traveled to Japan with my family when I was in the fifth grade. Usually a kid that little would not remember any place he/she travels, but Japan gave me a very strong impression. It was so clean. Every single corner was free of dust. And everything was modern, orderly, and innovative. The experience of riding the bullet train was as great as the time spent in Disneyland. Moreover, people were so polite and friendly. One lady kept speaking to me in Japanese. I had not came to master the language at that time, but I could feel the warmth.

As I grew older, I started to read books about Japan. The Chrysanthemum and the Sword was one of my favorite books when I was in high school. That spurred my interest in finding out more about Japan.

When I attended college at the States, I made some Japanese friends. Listening to them speaking about Japan was fascinating. So I decided to take Japanese and get to know more about Japan.

I am most excited about Japanese designs. They look very delicate, are very practical, and are amazingly simple. It makes one wonder how Japanese outsmarts others, since nobody else on the world came up with brilliant ideas like that. In a word, I am very eager to get to know more about Japan, and hopefully would have the opportunity to conduct businesses with Japanese in the future.
