モコサです

Añohaseo, Je iro mun Stephanie Juarez eo. Pyulmuo ung Mocosa eo. Mocosa rago plojuseo. Chyl buta turimida. 

Esto es en Coreano. Se lo pueden creer, vine a Japon y pense "a si voy aprender Japones." Peeeero no nomas Japones e aprendido tambien un poco de Coreano, Frances, y mi Español a mejorado. Guau! 
Now I am with my 3rd Host Family. My family consists of my dad, mom, and 3 younger sisters. I currently live in a very 多言語 household. We speak in Spanish, English, Japanese, and at times we throw Portuguese words around.I enjoy spending time with them and they are all very nice. 守屋ファン。いつもありがとう
This is my former Host sister and she is the cutest little human (ちさいひと) ever! She now sends me videos asking me to hang out with her. Or asking me where I am.  Her name is Hana. Ella me llama Macosa, no Mocosa! かわいい beaucoup!めちゃMinion!! Muy Linda!♡ 
Ellos son Mexicanos que conoci en Japon. Uno es Ivan y el otro Iram. They both came to Japan for a year-long exchange. Now Iram is in Japan and Ivan came back to visit. They both told me how funny it was to be in Japan and still be able to speak Spanish. "Es chistoso conocernos en Japon y estar aqui hablando en Español" Y es verdad! Lo increible de Hippo es que no nomas conoces de nuevos idiomas y culturas. Sino haces muchos amigos y te acceptan por quien eres. 
We had our Intern Kondankai yesterday. This is where the interns from different countries get together and talk, to people that join, about the different experiences. Now there are 5 interns from different countries. As shown below. Todos los que pudieron venir y participar Muchas Gracias. Thank you for attending.

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 ...
