6. Any further Comments?

This 2 years are very good experience for me.

Before I came here, I did not know about Zimbabwe and Africa at all.

Most Japanese people have the image of Africa, but that is just part of Africa.

Most Zimbabweans have the image of Japan, but that is also same to it.

Japan is part of Asia.

They think that Japan, China and Korea have same culture, same language.

It is a country far away from each other, but I'm glad if they could get interested in each country by they involved in me.
