*beware big post* Yesterday I visited the sleepy ocean town of Otaru with my friends Nic (20’s) and Robert (30’s). The day started out with all of us meeting at Sapporo JR Station where we would catch a JR train to Otaru. To get to Sapporo I rode my bike to [...] Well I made it to the weekend! It’s not like it was some big feat, but I did make it. Weekend in Japanese is “Shuu-matsu” and often you get asked on friday what you’re doing.. Today a couple of friends and I are going to the sleepy town of Otaru which borders the Japanese [...] Some of you might of heard that an Earthquake hit Japan yesterday. I’m here to tell you that everything is ok. From the reports it seemed like it came off the east coast of Honshu not Hokkaido. According to the Japanese Meteorological Society and U.S. Geological Survey it was registered as a moderate earthquake [...] Ok, perhaps the last post was long so I’ll quickly jot down what’s important and what to watch out for: China, Japan, and S.Korea told N.Korea to not test a nuke or else. Everyone is 90% sure North Korea tested a nuke, so N.Korea choose “else.” “Else” is being debated in the UN Security [...]
Big News… If you all aren’t keeping up on news and, I don’t mean the war in Iraq, you should know that tensions are running high, really high, over North Korea‘s Missile Test today. My last news report was about Abe’s new post as Prime Minister. Since then, a series of [...] On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I helped out in our club’s (Hi-C) Matsuri festival stand. Matsuri is different for everyone. About a week earlier the local shinto shrine had it’s matsuri. Basically matsuri is just a festival event when clubs sell all different goods and host games for people to play and have fun. [...] Edit: Pics are up now! Enjoy! Ok So here’s the Puppet Show Post! Last Thursday I was given the opportunity to go to a Bunraku or Traditional Japanese Puppet Show. The show was one stop past Odori park in Sapporo’s Old Town. The cost for one person I heard was roughly $50 usd for [...] So last night I got a chance to practice with the kendo club which was a real treat! However, the kendo club here doesn’t necessarly have a “Sensei”. Rather, the club is ran by a small group of “Sempai” or the experienced members. So I went with a friend of mine to check it [...] I know… I know you all want the bunraku report with pics and stuff and well I don’t have it yet. Recently things have gotten busy with Japanese class. We’re learning a lot of stuff at once as well as doing crazy readings like for example… 私の大学は国立大学です。大きくて新しい大学です。学生も先生も多いです。東京から少し遠いですが、大学の中は広くてとても静かです。東京駅の南口から。。。Yeah I could go on, but you prob [...] Today I had two classes: Japanese and Japanese Society. Japanese went on like it usually does with it’s various lessons, but in Japanese Society we watched and discussed the famous movie “Shall We ダンス?” Or how they pronounce it Sharu-wii-dansu. It’s a classic here and (for Clark College Students) a required movie for any [...] |
