sorry its been so long!

So it's been a while since I last posted. Spring break + school (and watching more online TV) got in the way. Japan notes and pictures will come soon. I took over 600 pictures, so it's a lot to go through!

But one thing here that is funny are peoples names. People here generally have 2 names, a chinese name and an english name. Sometimes the anglicized version of their name is just the chinese character written out, sometimes people pick typical english names. Some are normal, some are...quite strange. Here are some examples of funny/interesting names I have seen.
  • Sandwich
  • Insect
  • So John
  • Law
  • Hand
  • Eterna
There are also people with more "typical" english name, but not really names you see every day in the US. Things like Danson, Kelvin, Tripp
