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...

Maddie- The First of Many New Experiences

The First of Many New Experiences So, what have my first weeks been like in Japan? ABSOLUTELY BUSY! But, also...AMAZING! Truly, it has been a busy couple of weeks here, but not overwhelmingly so. Furthermore, I`d prefer to be kept busy! Too much free time = too much thinking = homesickness. By keeping a full, fun schedule, with some relaxing and downtime, I can keep engaged with my surroundings, make new friends, and stay sane. To prevent a wall of text, let me break down for you some of my recent activities. So far, I have: Presented about my life in Wisconsin to classes of middle school and elementary school students. Eaten kaiten-zushi, or conveyor belt sushi.  Been interviewed about my biggest surprise when I came to Japan (it`s bluntness in regards to appearance, people won`t hesitate to call someone fat, or tell you that you`ve gotten skinny since they last saw you. As I`ve seen it, it`s never been malicious, just matter-of-fact).  Post filming. To my ...

Daniel- Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas 「メリークリスマス」　(Daniel) A knock came at the door around eight in the evening, just as we were finishing eating dinner.  I yelled out, " IRANAI～～～ ", meaning "we don't need it", pretending that it was some late working door-to-door salesman. My host mom laughed and went to answer the door. She came back carrying a huge USPS box from America. Oops. Just kidding. I need that. I really need that. My parents in the US decided to surprise me for Christmas by mailing me a box of my favorite items from America. They somehow managed to pack a pair of pants, two jars almond butter, five boxes of gum, four giant chucks of  halva , and four packages of chocolate. I have no idea how my parents managed to shove all of that stuff into such a small box. But knowing my parents, there is always a way. Needless to say, I was ecstatic to receive my gift. Although my parents told me about the package beforehand, its physical presence was so overwhelming. I fe...
