When you use 在 with a time, where does 在 go in the sentence?

Question

So, if I wanted to say, "Last week I saw my friend in Japan," where would the location (Japan) go in this sentence? I thought it would go like this: 在日本，我上个星期看朋友。 Is that correct or does the location go after the time?

Answer 1

"Last week I saw my friend in Japan". The correct way to say is " 上个星期,我在日本看到我的朋友. "

Answer 2

Usually, we put time in the front of the sentence in Chinese. for example:1， 昨天晚上，我看了一个电影。2，下个月，我要去旅行。
