¡Hola todos! 
Soy Adriana Lizeth Guerrero Tamayo, soy de México y ahora tengo 22 años. Pronto cumpliré 23 el día 12 de este mes! Por lo que estoy muy contenta de poder pasar mi cumpleaños en otro país. Será un festejo muy diferente. 
Now I'm living in Japan doing an Internship with LEX Hippo Family Club and I'll be here until next year! In Mexico I'm member of Hippo since 2012, and thanks to this I had the opportunity to travel and meet people from all over the 世界 (world) 
今私は1か月ここに住んでいる‼ Y he vivido muchísimas cosas en tan poco tiempo.
Ahora estoy trabajando en apoyar en la preparación de los diferentes intercambios que hay aquí para los socios que van de intercambio a México. Pero por ejemplo esta semana tuve la oportunidad de ir al 多言語雪の学校! que es un campamento multilingüe organizado por LEX y estuvo increíble, hablé en varios idiomas con ayuda de mis nuevos amigos de China, Indonesia, Rusia, y más de 15 países diferentes, todos dispuestos a pasar 4 días de momentos muy divertidos y muchas actividades muy interesantes como hacer helado con la nieve de ahí! :O!! Que chido no?


Keep reading this blog, all the Hippo interns will upload content weekly!

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...

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...

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 ...
