Seven 90 day.

Nothing day more issue or problem or I needed Thio.

What?

Chiyoko.

So whenever I had some kind of So what?

Okay.

Oh, hi, everyone, this is Ellie.

You probably remember me from the other two videos, so I thought that I would properly introduce myself.

As I said, My name is Elie and I come from a very small country.

Slovakia.

We have only 1000 inhabitants living in my village.

So you can probably imagine how shocked I waas when I got on the Tokyo metro and so more people on the train that in my entire village there was quite a culture shock.

But I've been wanting to come to Japan since I was around seven years old, I think.

And it started with a song called Sakura Sakura that my sister showed me.

And in this song they used lots of traditional instruments like shamisen and called up, and it totally mesmerized me.

And I just knew that I wanted to come to Japan and start learning it, and that's what I'm actually trying to do nowadays.

Although it's not as, um successful and smooth as I was expecting it to be but I am doing my best.

So, apart from music, another thing that attracted me about Japan was definitely an image as well and the culture and traditions and just very rich history.

But after I came to Japan, I realized that my favorite thing about Japan is definitely the people that I meet.

I've been very lucky with the encounters while traveling, or just the people that I meet every day, because everybody treated me very nice.

Everybody was very open.

So that was such an important thing for me, because when you come to a foreign country, you might feel alone.

In the beginning.

Of course, there's the beginning phase where you kind of feel alone.

But thanks to the people that I met, I feel like I'm part of a community now.

That's definitely something that I appreciate the most, and I hope that I could meet even more people, especially when traveling.

I want to speak to more locals.

I want to hear their story and hear about their life because, you know, they're very willing to share, uh, their story with you as long as you're willing to listen.

And even in the beginning, when I couldn't even speak Japanese.

Just some few words.

Despite the language barrier, I still felt like we could communicate.

They were still very open and welcoming.

So I want to meet more off these kinds of people.

I want to see Mawr off the places that are off the beaten path.

Off course.

Very popular places in Japan are amazing and beautiful, but I feel like these off the beaten path in Japan have some sort of magic.

So I hope that I can discover more of these kinds of places that I hope that I can share this with all of you.

And I hope that you can enjoy Japan just as much as I do, because it's truly a wonderful place.

So let us get along.

There's gonna guys mass.
