Making a local connection Japan

I was at Goa with my colleagues. 2nd day I received the call from my HR manager and she asked me to be free on 22nd October, I was bit concerned coz HR is calling and saying be free on these days. After my short trip of Goa over and went to office next day she told me you are going to Japan. I was bit surprised and excited "wow" the Japan. After all the procedure and formalities my visa has arrived and I went to Japan for short 8 days. After reaching Japan I realized that I have travel in Autumn colours. Everywhere I see is beautiful red and orange colour has fallen on streets. On next day I went for sightseeing and met local people there . I was surprised that even Japan is a worlds fastest growing country in technology and many other things but they have present thier culture, respect towards the others and mainly thier language. I was surprised that out of 10 people only 2 people understand and speak English. I was very curious to talk to them about our culture and people and I was asking them to tell me about thier culture and language. I was having my best time of my life in Japan on those 8 days. I have learnt a lot of things about gesture and respect towards others. I was traveling many cities in those days and found everywhere is the same manners they have preserve for same. I will never forgot those days and moments spend in Japan and will definitely go in future to learn many more things. As everyone says Japan visit is not once enough. You have to go again and again to see the amazing beauty of nature and culture there Thank you for presenting my short story in front of you all . Regards Tejas Kapote
