こんにちは、みなさん！
I am now typing this, after a short nap of mine, right before this next blog is due. So lets just say that my productivity is pretty slow. Hopefully soon I can get my act together and study a lot more and actually do the work on time or even better....early!

So back to Japan and all its goodness. I like watching Japanese movies especially しちにんのさむらい or らしょもん (hopefully I am spelling them correctly). I have watched some anime in my time and I'm not obsessed but it can be pretty entertaining. So if you want to watch any Japanese movies (including anime) and have them, because I have none, then let me know. Oh I have "Lost in Translation" which is amazing and funny....so if anyone wants to watch that just let me know.

じゃあまた

So. This is my first attempt at blogging. I have never done this before eventhough I would say I have a pretty high level of experience on the computer.

Reasons for taking Japanese: well the main reason is because I love the Japanese culture and language. I lived in Tokyo for about seven years beginning at the age of 1. As my early childhood consisted of being surrounded primarily by the Japanese culture and language I have felt a close relation to both. Although unfortunetly when I was there I did not learn to speak Japanese except for konnichwa, konbanwa, ohayoo gozaimasu, and itadakimasu. I started taking Japanese classes a few years back, but of course the quality of the class was nothing compared to here at UVA. I am hoping that now I can finally start to fully master this language.

Now I'm not exactly sure what else to put in here....or how long it should be....so I shall leave it at this.

Sincerely,
Hantaa Dansu
