Daniel- Sakura

Sakura [桜,櫻]　(Daniel)



Springtime in Japan is marked by the blooming of beautiful cherry blossoms, called sakura. For a couple of weeks in mid-March and early April, all of the cherry blossoms simultaneously bloom to transform the country into a wonderland of pink petals.

Explaining the beauty of the cherry blossoms is nearly impossible, so I've decided for the rest of this post to only include photos:

Stephanie- The Month of March & How to Count Rabbits

The Month of March & How to Count Rabbits Wow, it's already April, which means March came and went so quickly! And since I haven't updated the blog as much as I should have to include all the things I've done this last month (partly because I've been working on this report and the things in it), here it is: my March report.   And for those of you who can't read Japanese, here's brief overview of what I've been doing recently: This month I've attended lots of Hippo events (workshops, group sharing sessions, international learning classes at elementary schools, orientation camps for future exchange students, etc.) At one of the workshops I was one of the main speakers and gave a 15 minute presentation about my experience traveling internationally and working with 4-H and LEX, all in Japanese! My host mom helped me a lot to prepare and practice beforehand, which made me feel a lot more confident :) The photo is from one of the internat...
