If money were no problem, where would you like to travel on holiday?
If I had enough money to travel anywhere, I would definitely go to Japan. My fascination with Japan and my desire to travel to the nation of the rising sun goes back many years. My first contact with Japanese culture was with anime, an art that I love; then its literature, which is excellent, captivating and amazing; and obviously its architecture, which is beautiful and incredible. Like many people who like Asian culture, I would like to spend some time visiting, or even living for a few years in Japan. Also, I want to learn Japanese in the next few years. But first I need to make a good long term plan because this would be one of the most difficult languages for me as a Spanish speaker.
Who do you admire the most?
This is a difficult question to answer because I admire the work of many people. But, I don't know them well enough to admire them. However, I would say that the person I admire the most in my family is my mother because she always teaches me and helps me. In the field of literature I admire the work of Franz Kafka. In music it's Skrillex because I love his music, and how he made his name in the music industry. Then Chris Ramsay, he is a wonderful magician who has allowed me to learn many things in magic as self-development. In terms of languages there are many talented people who have influenced my life, therefore I admire them, two of them are Robin MacPherson and Lindie Botes.
Who is the rudest person you have ever met?
I haven't met many rude people in my life. I rarely have arguments with other people because I try to be nice, and avoid as much trouble as I can. But, I think people who are rude is because they have a lot of problems, and they externalize them by arguing with other people. Going back to the main topic of the question, I think the rudest person I have ever met is a guy who practiced soccer with me. He often picked on others to be the coolest guy on the team, and he didn't know how to ask nicely either.
What is your dream job?
My dream job would be one where I do something I love, make a good amount of money, and have enough free time to spend doing the things I like. Those would be the first three elements of an excellent job. In addition, I believe that the job has to be stable, constantly progressing and challenging, in order to keep me motivated. There are more elements that can create a dream job, but that depends on the individual. However, the elements I have described most people would agree with me.
Thank you for helping me.
Excellent post, well written and interesting! I went to Japan many years ago now, for 6/7 weeks. An absolutely amazing place, you must go if you can!
Thank you, Rachel. That's great, I hope to be able to go as soon as possible.
Very interesting post Luis, congrats!
Very well written, Luis. I wish you success in your Japanese studies!
Thank you Michael, and Diane. :D
Great job! I found very few errors to correct. I visited Japan in the autumn of 2019 and have been captivated by it ever since. I'm studying Japanese a little bit each day, but I have several other languages I want to improve before I can make Japanese my main focus, so it's going to take a while. It's a fascinating language and culture though!
Thank you for your kind comment, Wendy. The posts I have published are the first long texts I have written in English, so there are many mistakes and unnatural ways of writing in English. But I know that with a lot of time and practice, I will be able to overcome this stage. How nice Wendy, I'm sure it was an amazing experience. Soon it will be time to give your Japanese learning journey the time it deserves.
