Akbermet was born in 2005. "Our family lived in Japan for some time. We moved in 2009 when I was only four years old because my mother enrolled in a master's program. We spent 10 years in Japan, living in Saitama Prefecture. My father, by the way, has been living there for 20 years. Life in Japan left a deep impression on me. Everything in this country is organized for the convenience of people: 24-hour stores, restaurants with robots, high-speed trains, and clear instructions. Japanese cuisine mainly consists of rice, fish, and vegetables, which makes it light and healthy," Akbermet shares her impressions.
According to her, the Japanese highly value order, punctuality, cleanliness, and mutual respect. "They have a principle of 'not causing inconvenience to others.' Society is organized based on rules and a clear system. Time is perceived very strictly here; public places are characterized by calmness and discipline. The Japanese respect each other but maintain distance. In contrast, in Kyrgyzstan, time frames are more flexible, and there is more freedom in public interaction. Family and hospitality are considered the most important values for us. We are very close to each other and often gather," she explains.
Akbermet also notes that the level of service in Japan always impresses her. "Every year, I notice more and more how high the quality of service is here. Every person works with full dedication and responsibility. I have been interested in sports since childhood and always ranked in the top five in school marathons. My parents took me to various clubs where I participated in wrestling and sumo competitions. I also trained in the pool, learned to play the piano, and attended a tutoring center for a long time. However, I consider my most important achievement to be that my parents helped me preserve the Kyrgyz language. I am proud to speak my native language and increasingly feel its beauty. Additionally, I speak Japanese fluently," says Akbermet.
She spent several years in Kyrgyzstan, which, according to her, created a complex situation. "At that time, the Japanese and Kyrgyz educational programs intersected, and I felt caught between two systems. At home, I watched Russian cartoons and movies, which allowed me to understand Russian, but speaking was difficult due to a lack of practice. Studying in Japanese required me to reread texts in Kyrgyz or Russian multiple times to understand them. Even now, I perceive Japanese material significantly more easily," she added.
Akbermet says that her parents are well acquainted with Japan, and she continues to study. In her free time, she enjoys relaxing and engaging in her favorite hobbies. "I love watching movies alone, and every evening, my mom and I brew fruit tea. Sometimes I go for a run. For the past three years, I have been involved in equestrian sports. In the future, I plan to enroll in a master's program in Japan and work in the fields of veterinary medicine, languages, or sociology. The most important thing for me is professional growth, development of thinking, and expanding my worldview," she concludes.
