Tokyo is a very interesting city. The best night spots to learn about japanese culture is Shinjuku but if you want to be with foreigns the best place is Roppongi. There are a lot of places to go in japan, since is a country of consumer. Coffee shops all around the country, as well as convinience stores. There are other amazing places in Tokyo, such as Harajuku where there are a lot of young people and Shibuya where you can appreciate the big screens in the street.

I think it was a good experience because i got to know more about japanese culture and had the chance to talk to japanese people and therefore improve my japanese skills. Also it was interesting and fun to meet other foreign students that were in my same situation and could learn how to live with other cultures. It also measured my ability of adaptation in other environment.

The main reason of my interest to go to Japan was the language. I studied before japanese in an especial school also in Japan before starting university. English language was very important for me as well since it is the universal language. I was able to improve both languages during the year i lived in Tokyo and I think it turned into a very powerful tool for my future professional life.

There are 100 yen shops (a little less than one US dollar), where you can find food and other usefull items.

As students there are a lot of discounts to travel and it is good to ask in order to travel. Japan is very expensive but also very interesting and knowing the advantages that students have makes it easier to have a nice life in Japan.
