 Konnichiwa! Today, I had the chance to make Origami and try out Kendama at the cultural fair in the Hesburgh Scholars Lounge! It was interesting trying Kendama, and it could be challenging as you try more skilled moves, as Fuse Sensee demonstrated. Origami was fun and relaxing, I made two shurikens during my time at the table. Overall it was a very positive experience!  Sayoonara!

My favorite anime so fa r is Attack on T itan (進撃の巨人). I found episode 1 online; here is the link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSNWdlHuVsA. This show brought me into Japanese culture, and this, being the first episode, really shows what is to come throughout the show. I watched it subbed in English and dubbed in Japanese, so hearing the language impacted how I try to speak it now. Also, it includes many cultural gestures and mannerisms that I would not have found if I hadn't watched the show. It is fantastic, and if you have the time, I recommend watching the whole series.  Jack Anderson
