Having been in Japan for over eight months now, I have had the opportunity to try and enjoy so many awesome new foods. From the food that my host mom prepares every day, to the places I’ve gone and the local specialties I’ve eaten, I’ve learned to appreciate a whole new set of foods and tastes here in Japan. Remember anywhere you go to give yourself time to adjust to the new tastes. There were lots of foods that I hated when I got here that I only started to like over time. I even learned to like pork here, which seems kind of ironic, but just goes to show. Learning to eat and appreciate new foods can be one of the best parts of going anywhere new.
