はじめまして。
Seo です。
どうぞ よろしく。
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!

I think its pretty cool that you have been to Japan. Since I`m going to be going in the spring I would love to talk to you about your personal experience, and pick your brain. The way you describe it makes it sound much different than here. I guess I should be used to earthquakes since I`m from Cali, so hopefully I won`t be to shaken. As far as the style goes, well I`m not to sure about it. I guess I`m a little more old school, and bright pink shoes sounds so strange to me, but hey whatever works. Looking forward to getting to know you better.
ReplyDeleteYour experience in Japan sounds amazing! Aww, and don't be ashamed to wear hot pink shoes here. Those sound really cool, and I expect to see you wearing them sometime this semester! haha. :D
ReplyDeleteI heard that when there is an earthquake, the safest place in Japan is their toilet. haha. Not sure how true this is though:/
ReplyDeletePink is coollll!! As long as you can carry it off, its ok:) I want to see you in them!! haha.

So I'm pretty excited to hopefully travel and hopefully shop in japan. A lot of my clothes are from this japanese store uniqlo, so some of it is a little out there by american standards. You should put up a picture of your shoes, or better yet, wear them on tuesday, since i'm in section 2.
