Time passed so quickly. A year of internship in Japan has been gone to an end very soon. During the time living here, I have unforgettable memories, on the construction site where I am on practice, with the colleagues who I communicate every day. All of that will never fade from my mind.
One of my most memorable experiences was participating in the topping out ceremony of the construction site. At the Japanese construction site, as well as at the construction site where I have been on training, the topping out ceremony is a very important ceremony. It is a ceremony performed when the roof pole is raised after the basic structure of the building, such as columns and beams, is completed. It is a ritual worshiping the guardian deity of the land and buildings and the god of crafts, to express gratitude for the safe construction work so far and to pray for the safe completion of the building. Fortunately, my name is also engraved on the beam, and I am grateful for that. The ceremony went well and it was a memorable experience for me.
In addition, I also had the opportunity to witness the acceptance work at the precast concrete factory. As a trainee, I acquired the serious and professional working spirit of the Japanese people during the inspection. And I also want to show that spirit in my work after returning to Vietnam.
Finally, the most impressive thing for me is that the streets in Japan are very clean. In one time, was assigned by the construction site to participate in a street cleaning session around the construction site where I was practicing. It will also be an unforgettable experience. I have felt that I have played a part in keeping the streets around the construction site green, clean and beautiful.
