"It was my first time to live outside my country, moreover it is Japan, which has a very different culture to Europe. But there have not been any problems because people here in Iwata have been very helpful.

"One thing I can't really get used to is this heat," Kamiński laughed. "The first summer was especially hard for me. I'd never experienced such high temperature and humidity before. Now I've gotten gradually used it, but my face easily turns red in training sessions, which my teammates often play make fun of me about."

While Kamiński is still struggling to adapt to the climate after four and a half years in Japan, he has otherwise completely adjusted to life in the country. When talking about his daily life, he looks very happy.

"Japanese people in general are very kind and helpful. When I was struggling in town, they would come over and offer to help. I also admire their culture, especially with regards to respecting others and their elders. It's very safe, so my wife can go out by herself even at night. I actually got so used to it that when I went back to Poland my wallet got stolen from my shopping basket. That's my fault, but it would never happen in Japan for sure."

His wife is also Polish, but now cooks some Japanese food.
