Diary in English ♡ On the 17 th of August 2019

It has been almost 2 years since I came to the UK with a working holiday visa.

Today is 17th of August and I will not be here on the same day next month, 17th of September. Time flies.

I believe that a lot of experience which I have had by living abroad will help my rest of life. I learnt how to live by myself, communicate with people, speak and write in English etc.

I admit there were not only good things, but I will not ever regret my decision coming to this country.

I wish I had more time to stay here, but my visa will expire soon.
I wish I were an EU citizen, then I could live here as long as I want. I have to go back to Japan even though I have been working so hard, paid tax for this country. I love this country and culture so much.

I have not decided about my life after going back to Japan.
I currently have 2 options: living in Japan or going to Canada with a working holiday visa.

To be honest, I am not satisfied with my English skills at all. I have to practice speaking and listening more and more. If I will go to Canada, I want to find a job which I have to speak English. The company I work for in London is a Japanese company, so I do not need to speak English; but I write in English so I hope my writing skill have improved a lot!

A lot of my friends in Japan are married and have children. I feel I might have to follow them and live a "normal" life in Japan, but I don't know if it is happy for me or not. One day I want to get married to someone nice and have children, but I think my happiness of life is not only there.

皆さんこんにちは、お久しぶりです。

早いもので、もう８月です。

私のイギリスのビザは９月１７日まで。

つまり、イギリス生活もあと１カ月をきりました。

本当に時間が流れるのはあっという間です！！

もちろん良いことばかりではないイギリスでの生活ですが、それでも、私はここでの生活がとても好きでした。

初めてイギリスに旅行で来た時に覚えた感動は、今もそのままです。

美しい街、英語、自由に生きる人々。

自分の年齢や性別にとらわれることなく、働いて、お酒を飲んで（笑）、旅行して。そんな、イギリスでの生活が、本当に大好きでした。

ここ最近はというと、相も変わらずうろちょろしていました。

湖水地方へ遊びに行ったり。
