こんにちは !! I am Romain, the new intern from France!
I arrived in Japan few weeks ago and yet I can say that I have done a lot of things and たのした a lot!


 Me fui como intern de Hippo en México por un año antes de llegar en Japón entonces ya sé un poco de Hippo… ¡Me gusta mucho el entorno multingüe y este estilo de vida único!


Je trouve ça génial que tant de personnes soient impliquées dans le projet, j’espère que Hippo va continuer de grandir de plus en plus!


Como les dije ya he hecho un buen de cosas aquí…

Je suis arrivé lors de la Golden Week du coup j’ai eu pas mal de temps pour visiter un peu le Japon… Par exemple je suis allé à Kurukuma et j’ai vu le Grand Buddha, c’était impressionnant!


I also went to the Caballeros Camp, we were more than 200 men (only)! Can you imagine that? That was super fun and I could talk a lot in Japanese and different languages with the Hippo Members
With the Hippo Judo Club we did a judo presentation. That was　めちゃ　うれし !! We had a lot of fun remixing the track of Ichiro going in the school bus…

-          どこからきたの ?
-          Mmmm 日本だけど
-          Waaa 日本 ?! Yaaa 柔道　できるでしょ ?
-          柔道 ?? YES OF COURSE !!!


Mis familias y los miembros de Hippo son todos buena onda, disfruto mucho mi tiempo aquí porque no veo el tiempo pasar. Estoy en Japón por solo 4 meses porque tengo que regresar a la escuela en septiembre ☹ pero だよぶintento de disfrutar de casa momento que tenga!


Petit à petit les sons que j’entends deviennent de plus en plus clairs dans ma 頭… Je ne comprends pas encore tout mais j’arrive à m’imaginer de quoi on parle. C’est la première 言語 que j’apprends vraiment de manière naturelle (comme un こども) et c’est très intéressant d’observer le processus qui se passe dans mon cerveau…


Now I am in Sendai… A new adventure began! If you are from Sendai I hope to meet and have fun with you!! For my friends from Tokyo, we will see each other soon!
SENDAI

日曜日 Sendai 糸と ゆふとままやえしぶやおrestaurantたべた．かみしばいあなした．All the people from Sendai seem super cool. The lunch was really fun y nos tardimos un buen.

El lunes fuimos a la universidad!!
大学わdivertido. Hicimos la sesion en el aire y nadie tuvo verguenza.


J’ai visité le 大観音.　おき !!　おもしろい !! 仏教わおもしろいだからヨーロッパない.

ぼくはかそくわげんきとmamaのぃおりわうえし !!! Hippo Members are also super cool but I guess this is the same in all Japan 😉. Can’t wait to make new friends here!!

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...

Stephanie- Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays! Hi Everyone, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Japan! Christmas isn't as big of a holiday in Japan as it is in the U.S., but I did have a nice Christmas dinner (Japanese style) with my host family on Christmas eve and we had several Christmas themed Hippo activities and a potluck party with some of the neighbors. I made eggnog for the occasion (my first attempt but it turned out pretty well!). My host mom even borrowed and put up a little LED light-up Christmas tree. My host family also bought me a little box set of Japanese hiragana stamps as a Christmas gift which was really sweet of them, and it is helping me to learn hiragana characters. :) While Christmas isn't as celebrated as it is in the U.S., New Year's is a very important holiday here. Today is the last day of work at the office before the new year vacation so, as is the Japanese tradition, this morning everyone helped clean the entire office. This type of cleaning  even has a name - ...
