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.

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- 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...

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...
