Azumi Arcissi Petitchania
My name is her Azmi Arsysuci Putichania. I call it Ocha. I was born on December 7, 2000 in Bandar Lampung, Indonesia. Now I am studying at Bunhatta University.
I love anime since I was a child. I love Japanese language and Japanese culture because I watch anime all the time. I also like listening to Japanese songs. I listen to songs to increase my Japanese vocabulary.
In high school, I learned hiragana and katakana. I was happy to be able to study Japanese in high school. Not only did I study in the classroom, but I also joined the Japanese club at school. There we can learn various aspects of Japanese culture.
I love Japan so much that I want to go there. After graduating from high school, I participated in an internship program in Japan. But I didn't go because of Corona. Therefore, I decided to study Japanese at Bunhatta University.
I passed JLPT N4 in December 2020 with a score of 158/180. And in December 2022, I passed JLPT N3 with a score of 98/180.
I am glad that I got the chance to study in Japan. Then you can talk directly with Japanese people. Studying in Japan, I can also get good study facilities. I will take this opportunity.

Azmi Arsysuci Putichania
Hello everyone. My name is Azmiarushi Stiptichania and I am studying at Sonoda Women's University. I have been living in Japan for about 5 months. I did a lot of things while I was in Japan. I gained a lot of important experiences both at university and outside of university. Since this was my first time going abroad, there were many challenges, but I have been able to overcome them all.
Before coming to Japan, I was not able to go anywhere by myself. But now that I am in Japan alone, I have learned that I have to go everywhere by myself. This was a positive change for me and I was very impressed.
Before going to Japan, I had no experience in doing activities outside of the university, but in Japan I participated in volunteer activities. Besides, the most enjoyable experience for me was my home-stay. I studied about Japanese people and Japanese families at Bung Hatta University. It was great to see firsthand the Japanese family's way of doing things during the homestay.
I have always loved Japanese culture. I had seen traditional things from anime, so I wanted to see a variety of traditional things while I was in Japan. I participated in a tea ceremony with other international students at the university, which was interesting. I also participated in a Japanese sweets workshop in Kyoto with the university president and visited Himeji Castle. I also saw a festival in Nishinomiya during my volunteer experience. I was happy to learn about traditional things.
Then, I have never experienced cold winter because Indonesia is not a country of four seasons. Now it is my first winter, so it is very difficult. But the good thing is that I have only seen the four seasons in Japan through movies before, but now I can feel them directly in Japan. I am looking forward to spring and summer.
The experience of studying in Japan is a very important for me. I would like to do many things during my stay in Japan.
