Participants / Impression / Hiroshima

I love foreign culture, people, food, and lifestyles. So this journey was pretty much heaven for me. The most memorable and thought-provoking time I felt was when we left the big city of Hiroshima and traveled to a country town in the mountains called Shobara. The little country town had more appeal and friendly people because it wasn’t crowded by tourists day by day. There we got to understand and feel what Japan is really like.

I just enjoyed the Japanese people and their way of living. It has a lot more order and purpose than the lifestyle you would find in Australia. My lifestyle has changed also. I now find myself taking shoes off before even going inside my house, I say itadakimasu and gochisosama deshita at meals, and I don’t get tired of rice.

It’s always going to be hard to work in a group because no one is the same and no one has the same ideas, but I think our group did pretty well to include everyone’s ideas and thoughts.

I am a lot more heavily interested in photography than I was when I first entered the competition. I am currently establishing a school photography club. We will take the photos of our school’s annual (book that our school creates at the end of a year usually for seniors to remember our school) and I can now teach others what I have learned.
