Adjusting to Japanese Culture

In addition, he also had to follow the Japanese way of life. One of them is about maintaining cleanliness.
“If you are familiar with friends, you have joked together. But going out together is a bit difficult, because right now it’s still a COVID-19 pandemic, so it’s tougher,” said the former pillar of the U-19 Indonesia National Team.
“I went to Japan for the first time, the culture of cleanliness is a bit different. For example, there is a collection of bottle waste. Tuesday, Wednesday, it’s different again. That’s what I feel is different. It has never been done in Indonesia, only in Japan,” said Arhan.
“Of course I also want to be able to learn Japanese because communication is important. I also want to learn so that communication is smooth,” he said again.
