Bon, je profite du fait que... je n'arrive plus ni à faire mes bagages, ni à cleaner l'appartement (bordel les adieux ça pue vraiment) pour écrire ce qui sera mon dernier article au Japon à la veille de mon départ (oui j'ai mieux à faire mais j'ai envie !)
Pour résumer : Ca aura été une année incroyable, on ne peut difficilement comprendre ce que c'est que d'étudier un an à l'étranger tant que l'on ne l'a pas fait. C'est intense, toutes les émotions sont décuplées ici, on s'attache très vite aux gens (loft story quoi), on change aussi énormément je crois, et ça passe à une vitesse folle (quoi je viens pas tout juste de louper mon avion et ces enfoirés d'Aeroflot ne veulent rien faire pour m'aider ?)
Bref, un an à l'étranger, c'est dingue, mais au Japon il faut sûrement multiplier ça encore... Entre le plus ou moins choc des cultures, les lieux carrément différents (même si je reste toujours une éternelle blasée du genre : "ah c'est ça Tôkyô ? ... ouais c'est cool..." "Okinawa ? ... ouais les plages sont bleues"), les galères au début avec les kanji partout qui font que vous mettez une heure à faire vos courses entre autre, le keigo utilisé dans les magasins qui font que vous bittez mais vraiment rien au début, la rencontre avec l'autochtone du coin... Une année de dingue en fait...
J'ai pas mal voyagé, j'ai vu des endroits magnifiques (Okinawa, le Fushimi Inari à Kyôto, le Sky Building d'Osaka, le Fuji San...), je suis devenue potes avec des gens qui m'auraient vraiment fait fuir en France de part leur fort caractère (putain guys c'est trop dur de vous quitter !), j'ai fait un stock de soirées pour les dix ans à venir (PARTY ROCK !), j'ai vu/fait des choses rentrant dans la règle de "what happens in Japan stays in Japan"...50Gb de photos et de vidéos pour être sûre de ne rien oublier... Tant de souvenirs en tête pour une seule année...
Je ne sais pas quel sera l'aboutissement sur un plan professionnel/étude de ce voyage mis à part progresser en anglais et japonais bien entendu... Je ne sais pas vraiment si ça m'ouvrira des portes du genre coulissantes high tech ou si je me dirige vers la trappe à crocodiles, mais ce que je sais c'est que pour toutes ces expériences je n'ai aucun regret.
Merci Bordeaux III de m'avoir sélectionné pour partir au Japon, merci Okayama pour la Jasso qui m'aura permis de voir autant de choses, merci aux gens qui m'ont soutenue, aux potes et à la famille en France pour être restés en contact avec moi toute l'année, mais surtout merci à mes potes ici pour avoir tout simplement été awesome et merci au Matador de nous avoir supporté toutes ces semaines...
<3 U Okayama !
Title : Cut ! Congratulation everyone, it was awesome, best scene ever ! Now it's over...
Well, I'll enjoy the fact that ... I can't more or to pack or clean the apartment (fuck goodbyes really stinks) to write what will be my last article in Japan on the eve of my departure (yes I have better things to do but I go what i want!)
To summarize: It has been an incredible year, you can hardly understand what it is like to study a year abroad as long as you did not do it. It's intense, all emotions are multiplied here, you become close to people really fast (it's like a reality show I swear), you also change a lot I think, and it goes at breakneck speed (wait... I have not just miss my plane and these Aeroflot bastards do not want to do anything to help me?)
In short, a year abroad, this is crazy, but in Japan must surely multiply it again ... Between the culture shock, the totally different places (although I still eternal jaded like "oh that's Tokyo? ... Yeah that's cool ..." "Okinawa? .. . yeah beaches are blue "), the difficulties at the beginning with the kanji that are everywhere you turn an hour to do your shopping among other things, the keigo used in stores that make you not understand nothing at first, the meeting with Aboriginal corner ... A year of crazyness actually ...
I have traveled quite a bit, I saw beautiful places (Okinawa, Fushimi Inari in Kyoto, Osaka Sky Building, Fuji San ...), I became friends with people who would scare me in France because of their strong character (damn guys it's too hard to leave you!), I did so many parties for ten years (PARTY ROCK!), I've seen / done things falling within the rule of "what happens in Japan stays in Japan" ... 50Gb of photos and videos to be sure I won't forget a thing ... So many memories in my mind for one year ...
I do not know what the outcome of this trip will be on a professional / study way apart from my progress in English and Japanese ... I do not know if it will be a open doors sliding kind of high tech or if I go to the crocodile trap, but what I do know is that I have no regrets with the all experience.
Thank you Bordeaux III for selected me to go to Japan, thank you Okayama for the Jasso scholarship which allowed me to see so many things, thank you to the people who supported me, to the friends and the family in France who contacted me throughout the year, but especially thank you to my friends here who have been simply awesome and thank you to the Matador who supported us all these weeks ...
