英語ですみません!Thank you for your awesome questions!! I think I didn’t realize my love for Japan for a long time because I was getting over the pain of having to move far away from my family in Hawaii. Hawaii and Japan are two very different places with their own special culture. So as a child I may of “hated” Japan, but I think I was just trying to adjust to a new environment. And before I realized it I loved Japan and it’s people. I love how people here are selfless, respectful and hard working. I respect the culture here a lot!
