Time in Tokyo
Hello! My name is Amber and I am a huge fan of Japanese culture. When I was little, I would practice eating with chopsticks with rubber bands around them, and when I was in middle school my friends introduced me to anime and manga, a gateway into Japanese language and culture. As I grew older I began to learn more about the food and the language, and I even began to listen to Japanese music. As a university student, I even had the privilege of being able to take Japanese language classes and study abroad in Japan one summer.
The initial purpose of this blog was for my study abroad. I minored in Intercultural Communications, so as part of my time abroad I had to record my experiences and express how my life was different after I returned. However, now that I am living abroad as an Assistant Language Teacher on the JET Program, I've decided to re-purpose this blog. Of course, I'll still be writing about my experiences but it will be from a very different perspective. The student has now become the teacher.
