Hokkaido Life

I decided to join Interac after hearing about them from my Japanese language teacher back in South Africa. I decided to learn Japanese as a hobby and was quickly interested in this program. I decided to take a chance and see what will happen if I did apply. Well a few months later here I am in Japan! The process to get here was pretty straightforward, the support and guidance from the team was great, they went out of their way to answer questions and help me to decide where I would want to go. I have ended up in the Shiretoko area of Hokkaido, known for it's natural heritage sites, Ainu heritage and wild nature mixing with everyday life. Since being here I have seen the last remnants of snow as winter is late to leave in this area. Spring and summer has come and with it the most beautiful flower parks and interesting museums, I have learned more Japanese and been to festivals. It has truly been a adventure in the few months that I have been here. I also have a lot of thing I am looking forward to seeing and places I want to visit!
