What are you up to now?
Missing your dosage of my Japanese life?
Okay, I know, I've been lacking in posts. I just wanted to tell you what has been going down.
I've been very, very busy lately. You see I am going on a trip tomorrow to Kyoto and Osaka with Victoria, Wayne, a Hitsuyukon teacher, and a Chiharadai teacher. It will be a three day trip and we will visit many historical sites (including shrines and temples) and also the last day we have a "free day" to pretty much roam either of the cities. I've been preparing for that. But, no, that is not all I have been doing. I've been helping three students prepare for a Japanese competition. I must admit they are a lot of fun and I really enjoy talking to them. I'll get a picture of them up very soon. One of them has a speech on African Children's Day in Kumamoto, another is about how he has travelled to many countries, and the last written speech is on global warming. The last student is doing a recitation piece on Leonardo DaVinci. I thought that is was very interesting because in San Antonio when I was last volunteering at the Witte I helped with the Leonardo DaVinci exhibit.
So pretty much this is what I have been doing including roaming the city, going to festivals with Madomi, and teasing Hina. Trust me, Hina many be short but she is a lot stronger than me.
Sincerely,
Clarissa
ps- I am working on a blog about a "small" festival I went to. Oh, and also the day I get back I am going to the Hinokuni Festival, which is suppose to be huge.
pps- Check out my flickr, those photos have excellent quality and a real look into my Japanese life. If you click on SincerelyClarissa below the photo it will take you to it. All my photos have a somewhat detailed description, including the one posted on this blog.
ppps- Last thing, I promise, if you want to ask me anything specific post a comment, I'll be more than happy to answer.
