Welcome to my blog! Follow me as I dive into an adventure filled study in Japan!

A typical Japanese House

I've seen typical japanese houses in movies, but I wonder what it's like to live in one! Here's a run through of the house!

Tea?

Nice bedroom! I'm gonna miss the typical American bedroom! I'm gonna sleep on the floor and pack up my futon in the morning... -_- I've never had to stress about making my bed in the morning...

Cherry Blossom legend.

Sakura trees are so beautiful, right?! But they're more than just beauty in the eyes, myths and legends of the tree will soon catch your ears.

Yummy Wagashi!

I really like eating Mochi! For those of you who're new to Mochi or Wagashi they are a type of sweet dessert consisting of a bean paste core and soft bread like cover. I've tried making a lot of mochi, here are some recipes that I've tried!

She's such a cutie! Little girl in Kimono!

I've always wanted to try on a Kimono! But I'm really short so mine would have to be custom made.

I'm going to Japan!

I'm going to JAPAN!!!

I'm so excited! There's absolutely no words to describe my feelings right now. My heart is moving so fast! Like super fast! I received the Japanese American Friendship Scholars (JAFS) scholarship! (I was an alternate for Mazda nationwide) BUT it's okay! I'm really happy that I was able to make as an alternate for such a competetive scholarship! Only 3 from the entire U.S. was selected and I was one of the 3 alternatives. Still I'm going to Japan!
Did I tell you that I'm super excited?!


I literally can't wait until my host family information comes!
Waiting...


Anyways, I've been chatting with other students who are going to Japan on the JAFS scholarship too and they're amazing! Everyone's so nice and excited! I hope to meet them at Berekely soon! Hopefully we'll all have a blast!
