 你好！Hello! Hola! こんにちは!

Hi everyone! I’m Bruce, the intern from Taiwan in LEX America.

I had stayed in Boston for almost 2 months, and I kind of felt like Boston is my second hometown now.

My family had several homestay experience before form LEX, that’s the first I knowing  about LEX. And then my sister Nancy, became an intern in LEX in Japan for a year, she recommended me should experience it. (With all the blessing and exciting, here I come, Boston!)
Since we don’t have LEX club in Taiwan, so this is my first time to join the LEX club, and I was enjoyed in it a lot!
For me, it’s a whole new way to learn another language like this. It’s more natural and you felt absolutely comfortable in the community that create by LEX. And I think it’s easier for kids and adults to develop their first or second language in this 
environment, and also they know the concept of sharing and other social skills.
My hostfamily were super nice and friendly to me, so I don’t have to worry about what to do on weekend.Living with hostfamily, I felt I’m the part of their family and having a strong connection with them. The relationship between me and my hostfamily is more like family not just friends.And by living with them, I felt fully immersed myself in their culture and that’s the things you never experienced by only traveling.

I have traveled around Boston and the nearby city by myself too! Always exciting to visit new cities and those famous places!Time Flies, it’s already two months passed, I’ll keep exploring and learning in the last one month!


For those who are interested in being an intern in Boston, just do it!

Daniel- こにちわ！！

こにちわ！！　(Daniel) Hello,こにちわ, bonjour,  Привет ! My name is Daniel Panasenko, and I am the 2012-2013 LEX intern in the Hippo office in Tokyo. I am from Sacramento, California, although originally from Dnipropetrovs'k, Ukraine.  I first came across LEX and Hippo when I came to Japan with People to People in 2009. I was hosted by members of the Hippo Family Club for four days, and I enjoyed the experience so much, that I came back to work for Hippo as an intern. Although I am fairly new to Hippo, I have been received warmly and welcomed into the Hippo family. Everyone at the office and at the family clubs are very kind, supportive, and incredibly patient as I unintentionally butcher their language. As the year progresses, I will blog about my experiences in Japan as well as my insights into the language and culture. Although I am a bit overwhelmed by the novelty of the lifestyle and language, but I am more than happy to be here, making fascinating new discoveri...

Michael- Koto-ku Community Festival

Koto-Ku Community Festival Wow! It seems like just yesterday that I was writing my last blog post, but yet it was really 2 weeks! I have been told it has gotten a lot colder in the U.S., so I should probably tell you I've only worn a light jacket once so far...And that was when the latest typhoon was offshore and pulling wind down from Russia. Otherwise, it has been amazing weather here. As always, I've been doing a lot, but I will talk about one thing I really enjoyed. I worked at a Hippo booth at my community festival. The festival was held over the weekend a week ago at Kiba Park near my home. The park is quite large and known for the Tokyo Museum of Contemporary Art, but mostly it's cool because it has a suspension bridge over a canal in the middle. The event was quite exciting for me as it was also my first Japanese festival. I want to say it was a mix between a flea market and a trade show. There were many tents set up in many different areas. Booths varied a...

Danielle- Shopping Malls

Shopping Malls I noticed I don't talk about shopping enough, so here's a brief overlook of some of my favorite shopping malls (so far~) out here in Japan. AEON I have one about 5 minutes away from my local train station here in Chiba. It feels very homey to me, just because it's really spacious and open and reminds me of a shopping mall I had back in Illinois. What I love about Aeon, too, is that it has a bunch of different stores (other than just clothes). On the first floor, you have your groceries, bakery, and cosmetics, and stuff like that. On the other floors, you have your clothes, electronics, food court (talk about majorly nostalgic, especially with the KFCs and Subways), and mini arcade. Chiba is kind of out-of-the-way, and so Aeon has been a very convenient place for me to buy my toiletries and CalorieMate... and just walk around, if I feel like it. I bought my first winter coat there and some gloves, and it was all reasonably priced, I think (granted,...
