Ali- Disney and Summer Fun!

Disney Sea (Ali)

Hisashiburi!

Sorry for the hiatus from the blog, things have been soo busy here at the Japan Hippo Office.
So many things have happened! I've visited Korea, Hiroshima and Yamaguchi, My Mother and Grandmother visited from the US,  I am working with the 4-Hers that are here from the US, and there are two new interns here from Mexico and Romania! Sadly, I cant talk about it all.   But I will, however, tell you about my latest adventure to Disney Sea!

Before summer vacation started here in Japan and the parks got crowded, I really wanted to visit one of the Disney Parks. However, finding people who are not busy when you also are not busy is a challenge. Everyone is so busy here in Japan!  I thought I wouldn't be able to go, but as luck would have it the new intern from Romania, Andra,was available and wanted to go to. Not only did Andra want to go, her host sister and her friends wanted to come too! Chiharu, Andra's host sister, and Shiho just returned from their yearlong stay in the US and Miku from her's in Mexico. We had a lot of fun going on the rides and talking in the lines about their experiences in a mix of Spanish, English, and Japanese. Next, I want to go to FujiQ!

If you go to either of the Disney Parks in Japan you have to wear Disney Gear.

Hayley- Life goes on

Life goes on Yesterday, I was able to go into work for about half the day.  It was great being there, but it struck me how tired everyone looked.  It wasn't just them though. . . I know I looked tired too.  The emotional toll of the past days has been very draining.  There is so much going on, and so much uncertainty as events continue to unfold.  No matter where you turn, there is something to remind you that life is not as it should be. I look at my laptop, where BBC News' Live Stream reminds me of the unfolding situation at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.   I think of the rescue efforts in the north and all of the people who are living in temporary shelters.    And yet, looking outside this morning, life appears to be normal.  The sun is shining, people are riding by on their bikes, and the kindergarten bus shaped like a giant dachshund just drove past . . . to all appearances, life is normal.   ...

Stephanie-こんにちは！Konnichiwa! Hello!

こんにちは！Konnichiwa! Hello! My host sister Asuka and I in 小えど, Japan Hi everyone!  My name is Stephanie, but in Japan I've already been given the nickname  Su-chan　 す－ちゃん    (su from Stephanie since the Japanese pronunciation is su-teh-fah-nee, and -chan is added to the end of a name when you are speaking to a younger person or a friend), so you can call me Su-chan! I am one of the five Hippo interns working in the LEX headquarters office in Tokyo this year. In addition to me, from Wisconsin, the intern team is made up of Tino from Mexico, Sakun and Ken Ken from China, and Hiu-chan from Korea. It's great to have such an international group!    Before coming to Japan I attended the University of Wisconsin and graduated with a degree in fine art. During that time I also worked for Wisconsin 4-H International Programs, which is how I first learned about Hippo through the 4-H/Hippo summer and yearlong exchanges. Last summer I had the opportun...
