Bonjour!

Je m’appelle Stephanie Juarez. Surnom Mocosa. Tu puovez m’appeler Mocosa. Asante
J’ai 22 ans. Je viens des Etats-Unis. Soy de el estado de Oregon. I like to read, binge watch Netflix, and listen to music. He estado en Japón por 7 meses. Y han pasado muy rápido. Durante mi tiempo aquí he hecho muchas cosas nuevas y he aprendido mucho. Y me encanta Japon!

La semana pasada fui en un paseo en un bote por Tokyo. Fue durante la cena y pude ver los edificios de noche. Fue muy increíble poder ver Tokyo de noche así. Y durante ese tiempo pensé “ Wow! I have been here for 7 months! Que rapido paso el tiempo!”  Sooo enjoy your time.

When I arrived in Japan I participated in Hippo for the first time. I questioned it a lot and was very uncomfortable. After a couple of months I became more used to it and slowly my questions were answered. I can now say I enjoy the atmosphere created with every Hippo Family and the uniqueness brought into each one.
With this blog, as it was mentioned before by Adriana, is to update people around the world as to what Interns do on a weekly basis. Each post will be of a different intern per week and topics will vary. Enjoy reading about what we do or find interesting in that week. Until next time!

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 ...
