I am Parin from Thailand. Let hear my story in international work camp in Japan.
My team members are Japanese, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnamese.
The camp is from 24th January to 22nd April 2015. We start with 4 days orientation in Japan to get to know each other, exchange culture, learning more of organization, project sites and of course having fun. The work camp is last for 2.5 months . At the end, we have 4 days evaluation in Thailand when we will meet everyone again and conduct final presentation to other volunteers.
Each country project has different aims from environment, development, culture, education to social welfare. My work camp is about environment. Apart from my love of nature, I am interested in Japanese culture, people, language, and food that why I select this work camp. Our accommodation is in Mashiko Town, Tochigi Prefecture. We live in Japanese style housing (1 floor) and definitely sleep on the floor with cushion provided, if you don't want to feel the floor just pileup cushions to create your own bed. We can have single room or double room; latter is better during winter time. We have kitchen, common room, washing machine and the best part is wifi. Nevertheless, we have Japanese style bathroom which two people can take shower at the same time. One of the Japanese experiences that you can't be missed is Onzen, Japanese public hot spring bath.
In this camp you will learn many things which you might not do at home. For example, Japanese is very organized and punctual, you should not be late even 5 seconds (letting other people waiting is bad manner) and show appreciation in everything other people do or act. Furthermore, we cook almost every day de-pend on the meal. Our volunteer from Laos, finally know how to cook at the end. If you are enjoyed eating like everyone in this camp, prepare yourself to gain at least 3 kg because the food is super yummy. We experience cooking of many Japanese dishes like okonomiyaki, takoyaki, nabe, don, and yakiniku. Once a week we cook our country food on rotation. It is better to bring ingredients from home since many things are not available in Japan.
We work around 7 hours a day, 5 days a week with 2 day off, but be flexible according to working schedule and festivals. There are many local festivals that we join here according to the season like Fukuju sou Festival in March when Fukuju sou flower start to blossom. We stay from winter to spring, we have a chance to feel the cold below 0 and see the snow in the beginning and before leaving we are watching plum and cherry blossom and hearing the voice of nightingale (sign of spring).
Apart from work, there are education days which we visit NGOs, educational forest and learn about leader-ship that we practice during the work camp. One of the parts I like is making hand wood craft as souvenir for love one.
On day off, we are free to go anywhere we want. The most remarkable for me is the strawberry field where I can pick fresh strawberry and eat as much as I want with no time limited. Lastly, if you love the nature and want to protect environment for the future generation, you can reach your goals and get self-satisfaction from this work camp as I am.
我是来自泰国的Parin，一起来听听我在日本工作营的故事吧﹗
我的组员是来自日本，老挝，缅甸和越南。工作营是由2015年的1月24日开始至4月22日结束。我们在日本用了四天去认识和了解对方，交流文化，学习更多有关的机构、组织和项目地点的内容，过程很有趣。工作营持续两个半月。最后，我们有四天的时间会在泰国和大家见面，并进行最后的汇报和评估。
每个国家的项目都有不同的目标，例如环境保育、发展、文化、教育、社会福利等，而我的工作营是关于环境保育的。除了因为对大自然的热爱促使我参加是次工作营，我也对于日本的文化、人民、语言和食物感兴趣，这就是我选择日本的原因。
我们的住宿位于栃木县益子镇的一栋日式建筑里，睡在榻榻米上，如果你不喜欢榻榻米，你也可以选择住在单人或双人房间，冬天的时候后者会比较合适。住宿里有厨房、公共空间、洗衣机可供使用，最让人满意的地方是拥有无线网络。另外，我们也有日式的浴室可供两人同时淋浴。一个你最不可以错过的体验，就是日本公共温泉浴场。
在这个工作营，你会学习到很多你在家里没有做过的事情。例如，日本是一个十分有组织和重视守时的国家，即使只迟到了五秒钟也是不应该的行为，你也要对别人所做的任何事情表现出欣赏和感激。除此之外，我们几乎每天都要自己准备膳食。从老挝来的义工从一开始不会做饭，到最后都学会烹饪了。如果你像这个工作营的参加者一样，都十分热爱美食，那你就准备胖至少三公斤吧，因为这里的食物实在是太美味了。我们一起做过不少的日本菜式，像大阪烧、章鱼烧、火锅，、丼饭和烤肉等。每周一我们都会轮流准备属于自己国家的菜式，如果可以，事先从家里带备食材过来会比较好，因为很多东西在日本都买不到的。
我们每天大概工作七个小时，每周工作五天周休两天，不过主要根据工作时间表和节日为主，十分弹性。这里有很多当地的节日，每个季节都有不同的节日，三月的时候有福寿庄节，福寿庄的花朵会开始绽放。在日本逗留的时间，我们刚好碰上冬天到春天的季节变换，有幸感受零下的寒冷和看到初雪的感动。离开前，我们看了梅花和樱花，也听见属于春天的声音：夜莺的叫声。
除了工作之外，还有教育日。我们参观了非牟利组织，教育森林和学习领导知识。我喜欢的部分就是做手工木雕工艺，可以当作纪念品送给重视的人。
假日时，我们可以自由活动。对我来说最深刻的回忆是到访草莓园，我可以采摘新鲜的草莓，还可以吃草莓吃到饱，完全没有时间的限制，感觉真好。最后，如果你也爱护大自然，想为下一代保护好环境，参加这个工作营可以帮助你达成你的目标和获得自我满足感。
