I&#8217;ve always been fascinated by Japan, particularly the Japanese language and culture. Andreas and Hendrik &#8211; two of my Friends \u2013 already spent a work and travel year in Japan and simpl<span style=\"color: #000000;\">y <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dict.cc\/englisch-deutsch\/heighten.html\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">heighten<\/span><\/a>ed my curiosity about this country. Well Andi and Heni thanks to you guys I&#8217;m finally here. :) Unfortunately, Germans can only apply for a work and travel visa until they turn 30. And this year, I&#8217;m going to be 30. So it was my last chance which I didn&#8217;t want to let get away. Another reason is my life situation. As I haven&#8217;t taken the Abitur (high school certification test), it&#8217;s a little more difficult for me to get jobs in Germany. I&#8217;d like to make my CV a bit more interesting with a year abroad in Japan, my first year-long stay in another country. On top of that, I had booked the flight to Japan almost one year in advance to save as much money as possible. Some readers might already know me because of the Hamburg \u2013 Rome bicycle trip I did including video documentary after I lost my job in the economic crisis. I was also able to earn some pocket money through presentations I did about this trip afterwards. But that was only a little more than a month&#8217;s rent. But it&#8217;s at least something for a start&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some might ask: \u201cIs it really necessary to go to Japan right now after 3\/11 to spend a one year work and travel stay there?\u201d The decision for this trip was made before the earthquake, the tsunami catastrophe and Fukushima &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/pendzichpictures.eu\/?page_id=2\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pendzichpictures.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pendzichpictures.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pendzichpictures.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pendzichpictures.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pendzichpictures.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/pendzichpictures.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":87,"href":"https:\/\/pendzichpictures.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2\/revisions\/87"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pendzichpictures.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
