Karaoke In Japan

January 11, 2015 by

So, if you're like me, when I was in America we didn't have Japanese style karaoke places where I live. I always wondered what Karaoke would be like; would I get shy, would it be expensive, what songs would they have, could I drink, what food was available? I will attempt to share what I have learned in the three months I have lived here regarding karaoke, because it … [Read more...] about Karaoke In Japan

The Top of Tokyo Sky Tree: Meeting My Pen Pal For the First Time

November 14, 2014 by

  That girl on the left above is my pen pal. I wrote my first letter to her 4 years ago. My Japanese was horrible, I could only use Hiragana and Katakana, my Kanji was illegible, and I could only say, "Hi, my name is Brittany, I'm in college." I never imagined I would actually meet her in real life. Now, my language skills are still subpar, but every day I can … [Read more...] about The Top of Tokyo Sky Tree: Meeting My Pen Pal For the First Time

National Diet Building, Imperial Palace, Sensoji Buddhist Temple, and Asakusa Tour

October 22, 2014 by

Get ready for a long post! Every weekend that I have a culture class trip, I am surprised by what we are shown. As you'll see from the photographs and video, Asakusa is very much where old meets new. The political hub of Tokyo is right next to an Edo period castle and the Imperial Palace. We weren't able to go to where the main buildings are, but we saw the gates, and the … [Read more...] about National Diet Building, Imperial Palace, Sensoji Buddhist Temple, and Asakusa Tour
