REFLECT/POST: Topic 9 Vacation Days

 



Growing up my family and I didn’t go on many vacations. Anytime we would travel it was normally to visit family, No sightseeing. So I don’t think I would count those as vacations. However, last spring break I was able to go to Houston, Texas with my closest friends and it was a lot of fun. We went to many museums and ate so much food! I think my favorite memory was going to a crab shack for dinner and each of us eating at least five pounds of seafood. I would totally recommend it! I miss that place a lot. For spring we plan on going to Ohio I believe. ( one of our friends is from there) And if we all become volunteers for ICON we plan on driving up and  booking a hotel together. I believe it is going to be held in Minneapolis this year and I have never been there before. I’ve noticed in the videos that most of the vacations people went on were nature destinations. Which is something I don;t really do when I am on vacation. I mainly travel to shop and eat. I really enjoy going on vacation with my friends rather than my family. I know that sounds bad, but my friends don’t stress me out as much. Plus they like going out and trying new things unlike my family.

Katakana

  I am glad I finally know why the Japanese language has three different alphabets. Hiragana is meant for native Japanese words while Katakana is for foreign words. If I remember correctly, Kanji is from Chinese characters that have been adapted into the Japanese language. Despite knowing all of this I still have difficulties telling Hiragana and Katakana apart ( I know I am so ashamed! I promise I will do better! ) Hopefully, as we continue on during the semester the difference between the two will become more apparent. A bit more practice and I am sure this will change! So far I am noticing that Hiragana is more rounded and much more natural to write down to me. (The curviness of the characters reminds me of Khmer in a way)I think I might prefer writing in Hiragana for now.  While katakana is more angular, sharp, and a bit rigid for me to write. But perhaps I’m just not used to writing these characters yet. ( I haven’t built muscle memory for the letters yet). I plan on doin...

Japanese Business card

Image
 Unfortunately, I don’t know much about business card culture in Cambodia or Vietnam since I’ve never been to either ( very sad, but I hope to go one day). However, what I have observed from watching my parents ( they own a restaurant for reference) is that they mainly just talk to people rather than give business cards. From what I have noticed, Japanese business cards seem to be very simple, formal, and straightforward. Which I think is very fitting for them as they are known as a kind, yet reserved and polite group of people.  Whereas in America business cards have a lot of emphasis on being unique with a goal of showing off their personality to the viewer through their card. This reflects American society well in my opinion; as most Americans value individualism. Usually in America, no two business cards look the same (at least that is what I observed on Google. I think this is especially noticeable in small business accounts. ). While making my business card I noticed mos...
