Going abroad

In today's English course, which I've just finished, I discussed the topic of  "going abroad" with my English teacher.
I've never been in a foreign country for a long period of time, except for short term sightseeing and business trips. The first country I visited was Japan around 10 years before. Our general manager arranged for us to live in a suburban region, which would take us 1 hour from hotel to the office. The purpose that my boss explained was to let us to experience the life of a normal citizen in Tokyo. It's quite a good idea, I thought. The subway was a necessary transport for us to be taken everyday. Honestly, I really admired the good social order of local people, which made the public environment quite efficient.
Now, it becomes my habit. If I stay in a foreign country, I will try to eat in a local restaurant, take the public transportation, and talk with residents. It'll let me understand more about this country.

<Please help me to revise it, thanks a lot>

[Very good work.]
