はじめまして

Hi, I'm Sam (Se Heun) Seo.
I'm from Indonesia but I'm a Korean. I went to Jakarta International School and I had quite a few Japanese friends there. I thought it would be nice if I could speak Japanese with my friends and wante to learn Japanese. As a result, I signed up for this class.
And this summer I went to Tokyo, Japan for a family trip. I thought it was a very busy city. All the people were walking fast and working hard. The technology was so developed that there was navigation on every handphone. Furthermore, the architectures in Tokyo is fantastic. Except, there were two huge earthquakes in Japan while I was staying in Tokyo. The first one came when I was eating dinner. I was surprised that all the Japanese people were so calm and used to the earthquake. The second one came during my sleep, but I didn't bother to wake up since I realized there is very low chance for a building to collapse by earthquake in Japan.
In Tokyo, most fasinating things are clothings and shoes. These can't be found in any other place in the world. I bought a pair of shoes and I thought it was nice when I was in Japan. It looked alright even when I was in Korea. Unfortunately, the hot pink color of my shoes look awkward in US. As a man, it is weird to wear a hot pink pairs of shoes in US.
Anyway, I thought after the trip that I will enjoy learning Japanese and it will be great if I get a chance to go to Japan for study abroad program. This is the reason why I'm taking this class and I hope I could major or at least minor in Japanese.
Hope a great year with you all!
God bless!
