Thank You, Tokyo 2020!

From August to September 2021, I joined as a guide staff for Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics at the Olympic Village. I gained so many once in a lifetime experiences that I’m sure I won’t ever forget. I got to practice both my English and Japanese at the same time, since my job was to guide international athletes to their transportation (bus, taxi) and talk to the driver. I spent several time talking to athletes as well, asking where they are from, and what do they think about Japan. To my surprise, most of them thought I was Japanese, so I had to explain to them that I am an exchange student from Indonesia. In a way, it makes me happy because it means my Japanese has improved.
