  2. こんにちはちゃーりーさん。ブログはおもしろいです。JBBP Clarendon はどうですか。 I thought your reasons for your interest in Japanese were interesting. What kind of specific things were you exposed to as a part of that program?

    1. We were exposed to many aspects of Japanese culture. For instance, many Japanese holidays and festivals were observed, and introductory Japanese language was incorporated into the curriculum. I remember that we pounded mochi each year during a festival, and made soup afterwards. Also, we were introduced to some Japanese folk lore as well.

    1. Shikoku and Hokkaido are on the top of my list. I actually don't remember all that much Japanese from the program, at most I get vague recollections when thinking about hiragana and basic numbers.

    I will soon be reading Myths of Japan in my East Asian Text class. Perhaps after we could discuss your favorite Japanese cultural forms and myths? I would love to continue this dialogue.

    1. はじめまして、Kierenさん。I'd also be interested in hearing about the content your class covered. I only have vague recollections of the folk tales from my time in elementary school. However, I have covered some material that may be of interest to you through this Japanese supernatural fiction/film class I'm taking this semester.
