JAPANESE LANGUAGE LESSON 1 IS NOW UP!
Go to the "Japanese Language" link to the right, click, and scroll down until you see the "January 26" post. Soon, I will be making short videos on the Japanese language that will help audio and visual learners (because I, too, am a visual learner).

It's about time this blog gets some publicity in the social media realm. Nihon Adventures will be posting most of its short videos, quick pics, and bits of "Did you know" facts on its Tumblr page. Make sure to share the link to all your anime/manga/Japan fanatic followers (or those followers who just want to travel anywhere and everywhere without having to get up from the couch).

HAPPY 2016!!!
久しぶりですよ！(It's been a while!)
A New Year, a New Adventure!
Right now, I am working on obtaining my student visa and gathering the necessary documents for when we arrive to Nagasaki. It won't be long until my Dad and I set our course for Japan.
Until then, I will be posting updates on our progress.
Also, Nihon Adventures is creating a Youtube Series called W2L (What's 2 Love), where I will be posting videos about life in Japan. W2L: Japan will be posting its first Youtube video soon as an introduction to the series.
Be on the lookout for new surprises coming soon to Nihon Adventure!

日本の食べものがおいしですよ！
私は日本の食べものが大好きです！
I love Japanese food! Breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert- all of the food looks very tasty. For the past few weeks, I have been researching Japanese cuisine that is easy to cook. A good friend of mine took a two week trip abroad to Tokyo, Japan last year. She told me all about the food she experienced there. From Karaage (カラーゲ）to steamed rice with furikake (ごはんとふりかけ), she loved all of what the usual Japanese cuisine had to offer. So, I decided to familiarize myself with the tastes and flavors of Japan (as best as I possibly could). So far, there are a vast majority of dishes I know I will like automatically such as ramen (ラメン), Omurice (オムライス), beef dishes, seafood dishes, and sushi (すし). There are some dishes I would like to try, especially the desserts!
For this post, I am leaving this open for discussion and questions. What type of Japanese dishes (Breakfast, snacks, lunch, dinner, desserts, appetizers, etc.) do you like? And, would you make it yourself at home?

I'm Back!
For starters, I just want to apologize for having you all wait so long for a new post. I have been hammered with college projects, a possible internship, setting up for the Nagasaki study abroad experience, and building my business. Crazy, right?! Now that it is summer vacation (sort of), I will be posting more often and with new content. Be on the lookout! Tell your friends and family! Great things are coming your way right here on Nihon Adventure!
P.S. Since a picture says a thousand words...this picture describes my facial expression this past Spring Semester.

No Detail Should Be Overlooked
From excitement, to nervousness; from patience, to scrambling- mixed feelings are playing a huge role in this entire process right now. Spending an entire semester in my dream destination gives me so much to look forward to. I cannot wait to sight-see, taste the unique culinary creations, challenge myself to converse in an unfamiliar language, and experience the traditional festivals and customs of Japan!
All of this is well and good. However, specific criteria must be kept in check before I dive into one of my most exciting adventures. Right now, I am working on getting my class credits in order so they can be transferred correctly. Scheduling appointments is crucial in this process. Persistence and consistence is a key component of staying on top of my paperwork. After all, the earlier I prepare, the smoother the transition will be when it is time to fill out the application form.
I cannot wait to soak in the beautiful, Japanese culture that permeates in Nagasaki. But, until then, I shall continue this assignment: Completing all the necessary paperwork before filling out the application. As my karate instructor would say to us, "Always finish what you start"- I must continue this mini journey. No detail should be overlooked. For, in the end, it will all be worth it!
Just keeping everybody updated with what has been going on. It has been a month since my last post. I will continue to update the blog as I go along each month. Keep checking out my blog! ありがとう！
