The Reason of Choosing Japanese Literature

Let me tell you the beginning of my interest to learn Japanese language.

It wasn't about manga 漫画 (comic), anime or even kanji 漢字 to be my reason of choosing Japanese literature as my major. Yet, it was simlpy because I adore the character of Japanese people. Before i moved to Yogyakarta i had a Japanese friend who was also my teacher in Bali. Her name is Yumiko. She is from Osaka, Japan. Yumiko先生は優しくて、きれいです。：）

From Yumiko-san I learned a lot about basic japanese language and japanese culture. I also came to know that the Japanese people are very interested towards Indonesia, especially Bali in terms of culture and tourism object. Thank you very much, Yumiko-san. 気づいたうちに、もう三年生になったからもっと日本語を勉強しなければなりません。頑張ります！

私達はずっと変わっていき、私達はずっと学んでいく。
