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 … 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!!

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- I have Guests!

I Have Guests! [訪れていた] (Daniel) After a trip to the Middle East, my sister and her husband decided to return to the US flying over Asia instead of Europe, so that they could stop by in Japan and say "Hi". Y-A-A-A-A-Y. It felt really good to see some family after seven months away. Unfortunately, the two of them could only stay for 3 days, so we were quite busy during that time. The three of us visited obvious famous places like Shinjuku, Harajuku, Shibuya, Asakusa, and Akihabara. But I personally enjoyed going to a park where we did the tea ceremony in a tea house on the park's pond. The two of them found it strange that there were no chairs and the process to drink some tea was so formal. I guess I didn't really think about it, I have become so used to traditional tea ceremonies that they don't seem strange to me anymore. I guess I'm becoming a local  I also really enjoyed introducing my sister and brother-in-law to my co-work...

Daniel- Okutama

Okutama (Daniel) This past week, my eyes were opened to the fact that Japan is much more than a concrete jungle of lights and high-rise buildings. For the first time, I was able to head west to Okutama, a mountainous region on the west side of Tokyo Prefecture. Unlike the city, Okutma is covered with forest and greenery. The abundance of nature makes it a beautiful place to visit in the fall. Not too far from Okutama is Heirinji Zen Temple in Saitama, where I was blown away by the beauty of autumn in Japan. The purpose for my being in that area was to visit a kindergarten and to give a HIPPO presentation along with other HIPPO members. Among them was a younger gentleman nicknamed Tango, whom I hadn't met before. Tango and I got along very well, and he invited me on a hike, along with his friend, the next day. Tango's family owns a very quaint Soba restaurant in Okutama. The surrounding mountains and nature really give it a traditional Japanese feel. The three of u...
