Today was another of the glorious days where we went to the school and filled out paperwork that was required for our stay during our time in Japan. Quite an exciting time, and one that took the majority of the day, unfortunately. I understand fully the importance of all the paperwork, though it does put… Read More Food! Experiences and Friends! (April 5th)

After the event of the last couple days, today was a day that we had some paperwork to do on the campus. Overall, it wasn’t anything too overly difficult, and we were done around lunchtime. But after the events of the last couple days, and all the excitement, it was one of those days where… Read More Tiny Post to share picture! (April 4th)

Perhaps one of the things I most looked forward to during my time in Japan, and one of the reasons I was most glad the semester ran during the time it did was to be able to see first-hand one of the most beautiful times in the Japan countryside… Sakura Blossom season! A time when… Read More The season of sakura begins (again)! (April 3rd)

It’s My Birthday! I’m not generally one that celebrates my birthday, so I didn’t really intend to do anything particularly special for my birthday while in Japan. It was a Saturday that was seemingly like any other, except that we were going to go Sakura viewing! Sakura Blossoms are when many of the trees in… Read More Getting Old in Japan (April 2nd)

Today we got to go on yet another excursion, which I am finding that I am greatly enjoying, as it is letting us get out and see things that we might not have otherwise done! This time, we got to head to a Ninja village, as well as getting to create our own bracelet or… Read More I can bez Ninja?! (March 25)

  This would begin as many of the days were starting to… with us having to attend an introductory class in the morning. The walk to the school, I am finding out, really kind of sucks. Proxy is a good city block further away from the school than I-House, as well as the fact that… Read More Intros & Ramen! (March 23)

Taking the advice of a friend, I am going to be trying to do my blog posts a little more differently, as suggested. I will try to condense some days, when there are less interesting things happening, especially when classes will be starting up and such, and focusing on some of the (hopefully) more interesting… Read More Store Visits – Clothes and Food! (March 22)

I am so far behind. When I originally decided to do a blog, I honestly didn’t think it would really be all that much work. It would be something relatively easy, that I would try to do everyday. Not only would it work as a required project for some of the scholarships I have gotten… Read More Reflection

… or how to become temporarily deaf! As the midnight hour approached, I was at the point in which I had to make a decision. Do I attempt to head back home, and try to get as much of a nights sleep as I can? Or do I head out to the more social venue… Read More Karaoke and Bed! (Day 10 – March 20)

This Saturday was going to be quite an interesting one, to be sure. There would be an all-day excursion out and about in Nagoya. Some of the RA’s were going to guide us around, taking us first to see one of two iconic Nagoya sights…. either Nagoya Castle, or Atsutajinguu temple. You get to choose… Read More Castle and Izakaya! (Day 9 – March 19)
