blog assignment:

something "interesting" from internship:

  • the room looks very antiquated (Roman column beside the door, Greek statue)
  • the water served by the worker tasted weird
  • mostly sedentary work
  • work: finding info and translating into Japanese


how to be a better language learner/ student?
  • To start learning a new language, use a method that you would enjoy learning like watching anime! 


something interesting about my home country:
  • visitors are not allowed to go into kitchen 
  • obsession with kawaii culture first began in the 1970s at the height of Japan's economic growth. 
  • the gestures of "go away" & "come here" often confuse foreigners in japan 
  • slurping food is good because it indicates that you are enjoying food
