안녕하세요!　Hello! こんにちは！　Hola! Samaです！ I'm from Jinju in Korea, 24 years old. 2017年12月から日本インターンをしています。   4月20日~4月22日2泊3日間YL準備合宿に行きました。 3日間YL生たちと一緒にSADA、メタ、ゲームをしたし、帰国生たちの話も聞いたりたくさん友達ができて本当に楽しかったです！！ 2日目にインターンとMaddie, Joyのタイムの時Adviceをちゃんと聞いてmemoもしたしゲームも 다들 재밌게 즐겨주어서 정말 좋았습니다. 韓国から6人のYearlong生たちが来て最初は恥ずかしいとか日本語をあんまり知らないから難しいだったんですけど、最後はみんながmicを持って自分の話したから凄く嬉しかったです。 18YLたちがみんな凄い頑張るのを見て僕も色んなことを教えてもらって帰りました。 3日間だけでもみんなの成長が見えました。 3日間が本当に楽しくて僕もYearlong行きたい！と思いました。今は行けないけど..! Thank you for reading! 정말 감사합니다!! 인턴 정말 재밌어요!

My little brothers and I Minnasan konnichiwa ！ Hola todos! Yeoleobun annyeonghaseyo! My name is Madison Hartup, but please feel free to call me Maddie. I`m 24 years old, originally from Wisconsin, USA. From August 2015, I was an intern at LEX Institute/Hippo Family Club in Japan for one year. I embarked on my internship shortly after completing my undergraduate. I`ve had a long-held interest in other cultures, especially due to my past job at WI 4-H International Programs, where I coordinated a wide variety of youth foreign exchanges for four years. The LEX Institute/Hippo Family Club internship offered a perfect opportunity to grow both professionally and personally in terms of cross-cultural communication, teamwork, and empathy. During my internship, I lived with three long-term host families, and worked in the head Hippo office in downtown Tokyo. I also participated in shorter homestays with Hippo members in Nagoya, Japan and South Korea (Seoul and Daegu). My w...

I like to read, binge watch Netflix, and listen to music. He estado en Japón por 7 meses. Y han pasado muy rápido. Durante mi tiempo aquí he hecho muchas cosas nuevas y he aprendido mucho. Y me encanta Japon! La semana pasada fui en un paseo en un bote por Tokyo. Fue durante la cena y pude ver los edificios de noche. Fue muy increíble poder ver Tokyo de noche así. Y durante ese tiempo pensé “ Wow! I have been here for 7 months! Que rapido paso el tiempo!”  Sooo enjoy your time. When I arrived in Japan I participated in Hippo for the first time. I questioned it a lot and was very uncomfortable. After a couple of months I became more used to it and slowly my questions were answered. I can now say I enjoy the atmosphere created with every Hippo Family and the uniqueness brought into each one. With this blog...

Ya mero se acaba Octubre! :( If you didn't know it's the most wonderful time of the year. Me encanta el 秋. Im hoping to celebrate Halloween in Shibuya.. He oido que se pone un poco loco. Pues en un mes he aprendido bastante!

Cuando suba voy ha estar tan emocionada! I already know it.  Himiko & Hotaluna      What Is This? Back To The Future Boat. This cruise ship looks soo cool! It's so futuristic.
