A country I would like to visit

Since I lot of time, I’ve always wanted to visit Japan, it’s a very beautiful and interesting country. The culture in that place is so fascinating and the landscapes it has are hard to believe that they are real, but maybe it’s better if I explain why I think this. When I was a little girl, I only know superficial things about Japan, like they ate sushi or they practiced sumo (which for me were just fat men pushing each other). I remember that one day I saw my brother watching “anime”, it’s a style of animation. he liked a lot, then I started watching the tv with him and I love it what I saw. Programs like Pokémon, Digimon, Sailor Moon are memorable, they had romance, adventures, drama, mystery and made you want to be part of that world. After of that, I discovered beautiful movies, like Sent to Chihiro no kamikakushi or Hotaru No Haka from studio Ghibli. The magical stories they tell are amazing and are things I’ve never seen before in my life. They talked about magic and social problems, but in a beautiful and innocent way. A child could never understand until the grew up. I realized that these TV shows and movies have a something in common, they were created by Japanese. The I began to study more about their culture and traditions and I discovered that they are as magical and special as the stories they create. They respect and appreciate little things that in my life I never stopped to thing, like the morning sun o small sounds that we use to express like “mmm” when we saw a delicious food or the simple fact to doing something that gives us life without the need to give us “success” in life, actually they don’t relate success to money or marriage like the adults from Chile. The success is obtained by doing what gives your life, there is a term for that, called ikigia. I want to live in Japan for a long time, it’s my dream. I want to learn from them, to be able to appreciate life and the small details of our life and give up my ego (this is something that is also related to ikigai) and stop thinking that I must have expensive things to be successful. I want to learn to be humbler, to connect with nature and with different religions like them and to be able to use that magically fill the world of a child as wwll as an adult.
