One country which I would like to work for a shorter period of time is Japan. It has always fascinated me with a unique blend of traditional culture and advanced technology. I would like to work in Japan as a software developer in the cities especially like Tokyo. The core culture there is quite disciplined and I think working in such an environment would help me grow professionally and personally. Apart from that, I would like to explore cherry blossom season, visit temples and try authentic Japanese cuisines. If possible, I would like to go there in spring season when the weather is pleasant and the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. The reason I want to live in Japan is because of the technological growth but also admire how organized and respectful people are and how it follows work-life balance perfectly. I believe living there for a few months would teach me new perspective on life and valuable lessons. And also it could help me to step out of my comfort zone to work with new people and explore the world beyond us.
