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.

Michael- Arrival in Japan

Arrival In Japan What an experience! I'm Michael Gobin. I will be the 2009-2010 LEX Intern in the Tokyo Office. LEX America has been telling you a lot about me, so I won't take a lot of space on introductions. I will be contributing to this blog a couple times a month over the next year. However, my mentor here in the office is gone on a multi-country adventure for the next week, so I will be spending those days contributing more often. I'll try to paint a picture of what my first few days in Japan have been like. Even though I spent 14 hours on a plane headed to Japan. It wasn't until I took those first steps off the plane that it hit me like I walked through a curtain that I was in Japan. First of all, it was immediately warmer. Kana went from being an equal language in places where it mattered, to everywhere with English only as a back-up in the important areas. Most importantly though, I became completely illiterate and that's when I knew the adventure h...

Hayley- Quick Update

Quick update Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers; this afternoon I made it back to my host family's house. Getting ready to head to bed after a very long day (didn't go to bed last night, but managed to get a 3 hour nap this morning).
