hey guys how's it going my name is
Michaela and I've been living in Japan
since 2005 that's a long time but I
don't live in Tokyo or Osaka or Kyoto
I've spent the last seven years living
in the southern island of Kyushu
I've lived in Miyazaki Prefecture
Kumamoto Prefecture and I've spent the
last four years living in Fukuoka and
some of you might know this already but
there's a surprising amount of people
who don't and when they find out they're
always shocked why don't you go to Tokyo
but you know I've always just felt more
comfortable here my parents came to
visit and they stayed here for ten days
and during that time I showed them every
aspect of Fukuoka and Japanese culture
that I could
it was like through watching them
discover Japan I was able to rediscover
why I felt so strongly about Fukuoka it
sounds lame but it's actually true they
were able to experience both the
traditional side of Japan and Japanese
culture and the modern twist that
Fukuoka brings with its relaxing beaches
and the chill people if you're planning
on coming to Japan Tokyo Osaka Kyoto
there are great places but those are the
tourist destinations if you want to
experience real Japan you got to go
somewhere new you got to go somewhere
exciting and I challenge you next time
you're traveling through Japan try to go
off the beaten path because other cities
in Japan may not be tourist attractions
but they're still worth checking out
there is more to Japan than just Tokyo
and as for now I have no plans to move
to Tokyo I would rather stay in Fukuoka
and I plan to stay here for a long time
so hopefully that answers some questions
and gives you a little broader look into
Japan until next time be Quaeda dished
up
gosh
