Finally, I've decided my way.
I was looking for a job and it's not difficult to get a job if you don't choose.
But to find the one that you want to do (and most likely you don't know what you wanna do exactly), was difficult.
Changing job is kinda like deciding your life. Especially in Japanese society. You can say that your private life depend on your job, company, industry, boss etc.
This time I've decided to work in a very small company. Very opposite from the previous company. Let's see which is better for me, big organization or small organization. It looks interesting though. I'm gonna be doing national and international sales. They've just launched their product internationally so I get to participate in un-established business. I don't know anything about sales but I think I can do it ;) I think "sales" is more of a people-to-people relationship.
Also, I'm excited about my new life in Tokyo! I found a very nice place near Tokyo tower. Finally I can have my own castle! I love organizing rooms and deciding bed, chair, curtain... make it in my style.
I'm gonna work hard and play hard to enjoy my life!

Do you have someone...
When you really need help, when you are down, do you have someone to talk to? When you're scared walking down the street, do you have someone to call?
You are very fortunate if you have someone to talk to without any hesitation. Maybe you don't have any reason to call but when you feel lonely and you need to talk to someone. Who do you call...?
Boyfriend, girlfriend...? Friends that you know for a long time?
When you become older, it's difficult to find someone new like that. Society covered with lies and pretense, it's hard to believe someone, get to know the true person.
When someone needs help (and that person is really important to you), give them a hand no matter what circumestances. Even though you're busy, show them that you care about him/her. When you need help, they'll give you a hand.
Do not leave your beloved ones.

What was the best thing that you did travelling?
久しぶりに会う友達とかによく聞かれるのは「一番よかった国はどこ？」と聞かれる。
でも、この前ある子に、「5ヶ月間周遊して帰ってきて、一番（周遊旅行に）行ってよかったなって思うことは何？たくさんの人に出会えたとかいろんな国がみれたとかじゃなくて。。」と聞かれた。一瞬考えたが、すぐに答えが出た。
「今しかできないことが出来たこと。みんながみんなできることではないことが出来たこと。」今、私の知っている中で仕事が楽しい、一生今の会社を続けたいと思ってるひとが誰一人といない。みんな何かしら疑問を感じ、近い将来辞めることを考えている。確かに周りの新社会人の方が私より遥かに社会を経験してるだろうし、仕事のことも分かるであろう。私は1年しかまだ働いたことがないから、スキルも何もない。悲しいことに、この国には仕事に追われ、自分の時間が全くなく、仕事のストレスでカラダが悲鳴をあげている人がたくさんいる。そんな人が世界中に何億といる中、世界を旅行ながら文化を見て、人をみて、触れ合って・・・っていうひとは一握り。やりたいって思ってるひとは山ほどいるけど、実際にやるのはごく一部。私は、仕事の経験はないが、人よりもいろんなもの見てきたし、感じてきた自信はある。いろんな国の生活ぶりをみてきて、いろんなものを感じる中、人生で何が一番大切なのかもわかった。大手企業をやめ、もったいないと人に言われたが、今でもまったく後悔してない。そのまま続けてたら楽しくもなく、悲しくもない平凡は日々だったであろう。
何人かの人は「そんななめたこといって。人生そんなに甘くない」と思うかもしれないが、それはそれでいいと思う。私はまだ24だし、まだ何も知らなくても許される年だと思う。（って思ってちゃだめかな？）20代はtake risks, experience many things as possibleだと思う。
友達にこの質問をされてから改めて、自分の幸福さに気づいた。自分はなんて幸せなんだろうって。こんだけやりたい放題できる人はそういない。何かしら制限があると思う。お金であり、親であり、仕事であり、恋愛であり。私が旅をできたのは、なんといっても、何も言わず私がしたいようにさせてくれた親のお陰。あと、旅費は自分の稼いだお金で行ったが、家が経済的に大丈夫でないかぎり、こんな冒険もできない。
私はいつも自分に言っている。「人生は一度きり。楽しまなくっちゃ☆」
When I meet my friends after coming back from the travel, everyone ask "where was the best country?" But the other day, one asked me " what was the best thing that you went travelling? Not that you met many people or you saw many places but..." I thought of it for a second but a had the answer immediately.
"the thing that I could do what I can only do now. the thing that I could do what not many people can do." As far as I know, none of my friends enjoy their job, none of my friends are thinking to continue their current job for a long time. Of course, other people has by far more experience than me, know more about business society. I've only worked 1 year so I don't have any skills. However, there are so many people that are too busy working, don't have private life, got sick because of the stress etc. There are millions and billions of people like that in the world, not living their life, not interesting life but meanwhile, I was travelling around, saw many things, experienced culture, met many people, felt so many things ... A lot of people say they wanna do this but people who actually do is only few. I don't have skills and working experience but I am confident that I experienced and felt many things than other people. I have courage. I've also found out what is really important in my life. There are people who says I'll regret that I quit a big company but I never do. If I've continued, I would be having same old life, not too hard but not exciting life.
Some people might think I am thoughtless for the future. Especially Japanese. But I think it's okay. I'm still 24. Someone said "When you're in 20s, take risks."
After being asked this question, I again realized how lucky I am. not many people can do this. More or less, you'll have some restraint to do this, whether it is money, parents, job, love etc. My parents understanding meant a lot to me. They didn't oppose, let me do what I wanna do. Also, I paid the travel money but if my family was poor, I couldn't do this either.
