Fishing in Japan
As a result of my communication skills, i found someone in my internship company which have same hobby, which is fishing. Fishing in Japan was a great experience as i learned 3 types of fishing, fly fishing, tenkara fishing and ayu fishing. Fly fishing is quite international type of fishing which using their line as a drive to throw the bait. Tenkara fishing have almost similar concept just the difference are this type of fishing using shorter road and without reel. Ayu fishing is a traditional type of fishing, "Ayu" ia a type of fish which eat mosses in the river, however, Ayu have a habit to attack other ayu fish, therefore, Japanese use Ayu fish fish to catch another Ayu fish and they use up to 11 meter road for this type of fishing. i went fishing in mountain area which the view was really beautiful with clear water flowing in the river. A main lesson from this experience are, Japanese will really committed towards their hobby and Japanese really appreciate their nature besides getting new friend.
