Today, I volunteered for KG's Open Campus Day as a friendly 留学生 (foreign exchange-student). I sat with my friend Kaori, and intimidated high school students from 12:00 to 4:00 pm. Not that I can make fun, I am usually very nervous to speak Japanese. Maybe a shot of sake before hand would have cured that....
It took place in the "fish bowl," as it's affectionately called by Japanese students.
It's the lounge inside the Center for International Education building, or the place where all foreign students hang out/have class. Therefore, it's a sort of glass tank where one can observe foreigners in a more casual setting.
There was a sheet of questions for the students to ask us, and I got a lot of, "What do you think of Japanese fashion, hair, Kansai accent, culture shock, etc.." For some reason, I was as nervous as they were to answer! There's still so much vocabulary I'm missing!!
Amy, my roommate, and I hit up the nearest 99 yen shop on the way home, and I noticed alcohol in juice boxes. Alcohol in juice boxes! I guess we never really grow up, huh?
