ひろしま留学大使 インタビューvol.5 Nu Nu Mai

My name is Nu Nu Mai. Mai means sunshine in my Kachin language. Kachin is one of major eight ethnicities of Myanmar. I am a first year master student of Graduate School for International Development and Cooperation (IDEC) in Hiroshima University. One of my hobbies is exploring new things, like taking adventure such as paragliding. I enjoy this because I am so curious and love to learn about new things. I also love to write and share whatever I learned from Japan. 

Ngai na mying gaw Nu Nu Mai re. Mai ngu ai gaw jinghpaw ga hku ninghkaw jan ngu ai lachyum re. Kachin ngu ai gaw Myen mung a myu lakung kaba matsat kaw nna langai mi re. Ngai gaw first year master course hpe Hiroshima Dakkasu kaw lung taw nga ai re. Myitshang sha ai lam law kaw nna langai mi gaw ningnan hpe sawk sagawn hkaja ai hpe myitlawm nngai. Ga shadawn nga yang, nbung-jawng jawn gumhtawn ai zawn re ai lam re. Bai nna, langai mi gaw, Japan ga mahkum madup ni hpe laika ka nna garan kachyan na hpe mung myit lawm nngai.

Since I saw HSAA announcement in my momiji account, I was very interested in it and eager to apply it. At first, I hesitated to apply because I worry that it sounds so serious (the word ambassador). But, later, I applied to HSAA because one of my best friends encouraged me to join, and also after I’ve read HSAA criteria, I felt that the style of HSAA is matching to my personalities. Why I felt like this is that I usually write and share my student life in Japan by posting notes on my Facebook wall and I also keep telling and encouraging my friends to try to come and study here. One more thing is that I love to do those kind of social and cultural exchange activities.

Ndai HSAA shaga ai laika hpe mu ai kaw nna grai myit shangsha nna, shawk na matu myit grai katu ai re. Raitim, Ambassador ngu ai gasi hpe kajawng nna shawk na matu loi hkrit nna hting nut mat shi ni ai. Raitim, manang ni ngai hpe n-gun jaw ai majaw, bai ngai nan mung HSAA a shadawn shadang hte ngai na lailen htuk nga ai hpe mu lu ai majaw shawk dat ai re. Ngai nan mung Japan ga dakkasu jawngma prat hpe tsun dan ka dan dingyang galaw taw ai jan re. Ya tim manang ni hpe ndai kaw jawng sa lung na matu dingyang n-gun jaw let shaga nga dingyang re. Bai langai mi gaw, ngai nan ndai zawn shawa bungli hte htunghkring shachyen bungli ni hpe myitshang sha ai jan re ai majaw mung re.

Actually, I couldn’t choose. I have been chosen. Initially, this process began from one of my professors from Myanmar. She referred me to my Sensei (my academic supervisor in Japan), because she knew my research interests. (She was also one of the graduate students from Hiroshima University.) Then, I prepared and applied for it. After I passed through all the long procedures of applying for both university and scholarship, I got accepted from both.

The place that I like the most is my campus because the atmosphere is very beautiful and peaceful for studying. While I was in Myanmar, one of my dreams was to be able to study and read books at beautiful and peaceful place where colorful flowers and trees are surrounding by me like I am reading books lying on the grasses of Pyin Oo Lwin Park, that is the most popular park in Myanmar. Let say, now I am in my dream land. 

The next place I like the most is the Hiroshima city. Because even Hiroshima itself had experienced once unforgettable misery moment in the past, now, today it is standing as the symbol of peace. As Hiroshima is very famous about atomic bomb location, so every time I go to the historic remains of atomic bomb blast, it reminds me on how bad the effects of war are and I wish there will be no more wars in this world. I also like Miyajima very much because it is so beautiful, and, there is a magical feeling that makes me always want to go there. I also like cherry blossom in Hiroshima very much. I feel like I’m living in fairy tale or paradise because it is so blissful. 

Ngai ra dik ai shara gaw ya ngai jawng lung nga ai Hiroshima dakkasu jawng wang nan re. Hpa na nga yang, grai tsawm, grai simsa ai shingwang shi kaw nga ai majaw re. Ngai myen mung kaw nga ai shaloi na, ngai na yup mang langai mi gaw, asim asa re shara, hpun ni, nampu nampan ni hte shinggrup da ai shara, tsawm htap ai shara kaw hpaji grai hkaja mayu ai yup mang re. Ga shadawn, Pyin Oo Lwin nampan sun na tsingdu pa kaw laika sa dung hti ai zawn re. Ya gaw dai yup mang kang sai ga re. Dai majaw ndai dakkasu shingwang hpe ra dik re. 

Bai kaga langai mi gaw Hiroshima Myo re. Hpana nga jang, Hiroshima shinan moi laiwa sai ten hta malap n mai ai yawn hpa hpe hkum kadut wa tim, ya daini Hiroshima gaw mungkan hta simsa kumla laingai hku tsap dan taw sai majaw re. Hiroshima gaw nuclear bawm jahkat hkum ai shara hku nna mungkan kaw grai myin gumhkawng ai shara re. Ngai dai shara de du shagu, majan a majaw hkum hkra ai n kaja ai lam ni hpe myitdum shingran ni nngai.  Mungkan ga ntsa majan ngu galoi n nga mat sanu ga ngu mung ngai myit hta kyu hpyi myit dum dat nngai. Bai nna, ngai Miyajima hpe mung ra nngai. Jahking hkring bai sa chyai na zawn re tsawm la ai shara nan re. Bai nna Hiroshima kaw cherry pu ten nampan pu yu ai hpe mung grai ra sharawng nngai. Dai ten hta nampan hpun ni yawng pu tsawm ai kata kaw, hpun npu kaw, hkawm chyai ai gaw sumsing du ai zawn ngu hkam sha shangun ai majaw re.

ေနာက္တေနရာ အၾကိဳက္ဆံုးကေတာ့ ဟီရိုရွီးမားျမိဳ႕ျဖစ္ပါတယ္။ ဘာျဖစ္လို႔လဲဆိုေတာ့ ဟီရိုရွီးမားသူကိုုယ္၌က ေမ့လို႔မရႏိုင္မယ့္ ၀မ္းနည္းပူေဆြးစရာအခိုက္အတန္႔ကို တခ်ိန္တခါတုန္းကၾကံဳၾကိဳက္ခဲ့ရေပမယ့္ ဒီကေန႔မွာေတာ့ ျငိမ္းခ်မ္းမႈရဲ႕ သေကၤတတစ္ခု အေနနဲ႔ရပ္တည္ေနတာကို ျမင္ရလို႔ပါ။ ဟီရိုရွီးမားက ျႏဴးကလီးယားဗံုးဒဏ္ေၾကာင့္ အင္မတန္မွ နာမည္ၾကီးပါတယ္။ အဲဒီကိုေရာက္သြားတိုင္း စစ္ပြဲရဲ႕ အက်ိဳးဆက္ေတြဟာ ဘယ္ေလာက္ဆိုး၀ါးသလဲဆိုတာကို ျပန္လည္ဆင္ျခင္မိေစခဲ့ျပီး ကမၻာေပၚမွာ ေနာက္ထပ္စစ္ပြဲေတြမရွိပါေစနဲ႔ေတာ့လို႔ ဆႏၵျပဳခဲ့မိပါတယ္။

ေနာက္တေနရာကေတာ့ မီယာဂ်ီးမားကို အရမ္းလွလို႔ သေဘာက်ပါတယ္။ ေနာက္ထပ္ အၾကိမ္ၾကိမ္အခါခါ သြားခ်င္တဲ့ ထူးဆန္းတဲ့ခံစားမႈမ်ိဳးေလး ေပးႏိုင္တဲ့ေနရာေလးမို႔လို႔ပါ။ ျပီးေတာ့ ဟီရိုရွီးမားရဲ႕ ခ်ယ္ရီပန္းပြင့္တဲ့ အခ်ိန္ေလးကိုလည္း အင္မတန္မွႏွစ္ျခိဳက္သေဘာက်မိပါတယ္။ နတ္သမီးပံုျပင္ထဲဲေရာက္သြားသလိုလုိ၊ သုခဘံုထဲပဲ ေရာက္သြားသလိုမ်ိဳး ခ်မ္းေျမ့ေပ်ာ္ရႊင္မႈကို ခံစားရေစလို႔ပါပဲ။

Don’t worry too much, just come here. Just come out of your comfort zone. Be ready with research proposal and TOEFL score, then you can start to apply to Japan. Of course, let me recommend you to apply to Hiroshima University because it is a very peaceful and comfortable place for studying and concentrating in your research. You don’t need to worry about your Japanese skill because all the professors in IDEC teach us in English. So, you don’t need to worry about your academic life. However, for daily life, I recommend you to study little by little Japanese language because it will help you a lot. Japanese are very kind and very helpful, whenever you ask for a help they are happy to help you as much as they can. After you arrived in Japan, please, don’t lock yourself in your room. Learn the culture and try to interact with the local and other people.  Explore as much as you can and participate in many activities as you can. Then, you will learn what you can’t learn from the books. Go outside! Enjoy your life! Have fun as much as you can!
