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.

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...

Jess- Half Way

Half Way The arrival of March marks my halfway point through my Year-Long stay in Japan. In the past six months I have made more language discoveries than I am even aware of. Japanese, Thai, and Korean have started sneaking their way into my dreams at night and are invading my thoughts throughout the day. It's a transformation that I didn't consiously make but one that comes with the nature of being in this language rich environment I call home. In the past 6 months I have had countless opportunities to meet people from all over the world and all over Japan. Recently I gave a presentation at an elementary school where students from Thailand, Korea, and England participated in our activity. At the end of the school visit, the guy from Korea came up to me and asked "nan nen gurai nihon ni imasuka?" "how many years have you lived in Japan?" Although it is a fairly simple question, I was thrilled at the way it was worded. At the time he asked me that, I ...
