I want to go to Japan :)

Since 2006 (after i graduated from college), i have decided what to do next, it is Work In Japan!

Then, i searched for infos about how to get job there. And i found out that the most difficult to get is the visa. And then the cost of going and working in Japan is very high. And immediately I gave up them.

But 1 month later, i heard that there is a program from the government, to recruit employee to be employed in Japan. The program is about internship training in Japan.

By joining this program, we, Indonesian youth, will be recruited as trainee in many Japanese Companies, and will have a contract of internship training in 3 years.

The wage rate is about half of regular worker there, but as trainee we will have dorm and other facilities from company such as transportation and daily needs (not all but some of them). From what I've heard from many who is or who has worked in Japan, the daily life cost there is about half of their salary, so i think although we only get half of the standard wage, but it's sufficient to life in Japan.

Then, i joined a Job Preparation Program, to get a certificate to able to enter the Internship Program, for 3 month. And i graduated from this Program on April 2007.

In case of this program too, i studied Japanese by my self at home, and I trained my physic a lot, because they said that work in japan is very tough, and so the test; we have to run 3 kilometers in less than 15 minutes, and push up at least 35 time, sit up at least 25.

Then, on July 2007 the Selection Test for Japan Internship Training Program (let say it with JITP, but actually i'm not really sure that is the right translation from Program Magang Jepang in Indonesian) is held.

Then, i passed to the last round, which the remain applicant is only 60 from 628 at the first round.

This last round test is Medical Examination.

And sadly, i failed because i got myopia, my eyes have minus of 0.5.

Off course I'm disappointed, but i didn't gave up yet.

One year later, June 2008, i retake the test, and again i failed because of the same reason..

Now i got my self on despair, but didn't gave up yet.

With one last year to be able enter the program (max age is 25) I'm still trying and search as much as possible info about how to get going to Japan, and next November i will try my best to passed the exam, and i hope this time i will succeed..

Wish me luck :)
