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). 

Nihon Adventures is getting its own Tumblr Account!!

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! 

It's official!

Finally! I just received the acceptance letter! I am super excited to participate in the Nagasaki Program! From March 29-August 7, I will be exploring the Japanese Culture in depth. Be on the lookout for new posts, videos, and pictures!

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?
