Today, here in Japan, my life is full of discoveries and I learn something new every day. I sometimes wonder if this is really happening. Or, am I living in a dream world?<\/p>\n<p>I came to Japan for the first time four years ago. I left Vietnam for the first time, took my first flight, and went to live on my own for the first time. A life packed with first-time experiences had begun. I felt Japan was truly a developed country\u2014everything was sparkling clean and high-tech, from large objects like trains and skyscrapers to small objects such as bidet toilet seats. I hope that someday my family can experience what I am experiencing in Japan and that everyone in Vietnam can enjoy a convenient and comfortable life.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_45176\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-45176 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2016\/10\/68ea8ee1381999fa5aae84c35185af07.jpg\" alt=\"At the ICC Vietnam Festival, we introduced our country through folk songs, traditional martial arts, and tasting local dishes.\" width=\"913\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2016\/10\/68ea8ee1381999fa5aae84c35185af07.jpg 913w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2016\/10\/68ea8ee1381999fa5aae84c35185af07-610x401.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2016\/10\/68ea8ee1381999fa5aae84c35185af07-768x505.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 913px) 100vw, 913px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">At the ICC Vietnam Festival, we introduced our country through folk songs, traditional martial arts, and tasting local dishes.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>My dream is to serve as a bridge between Japan and Vietnam and make Vietnam into a \u201csecond Japan\u201d while helping the two nations develop a good relationship. The reason why I am working at the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/icc\/en\/\"> International Community Center (ICC)<\/a> is because I want to introduce the Vietnamese culture to many people. During the spring semester, I was able to hold an event called \u201cVietnam Festival.\u201d I planned the event, worked with many parties\u2014including the embassy\u2014and provided many people with a positive experience. The whole event became a valuable experience for me.<\/p>\n<p>I would like to continue doing what I can to promote an understanding of Vietnam to the Japanese people and show the wonderful features of Japan to the Vietnamese people.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_45177\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-45177 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/top\/en\/assets\/uploads\/2016\/10\/f27e2db1f07720679b08c1b8215dd3df.jpg\" alt=\"Japan\u2019s unique gesture of kindness on escalators.
