"Hi everybody,
To go straight to the point, I will say that I would like to visit Japan in the near future. Since it is the birthplace of all anime and video games, Japan makes its way as one of the most interesting places to visit in the globe.
Japan is a very beautiful place, full of a rich inner city life. In this occasion, I would like to focus on Akihabara District. This is the paradise, literally. This is a place where all the arcade game shops you have ever imagined are located. You can play on the last video game machines, or go directly to the past and visit some old school antiques arcade machines.
As it is of common knowledge, going to Japan entails a beautiful travel experience. Nevertheless, I think I would never go and live in Japan since it possesses a completely opposed idiosyncrasy from Chile. I think it would take a lot of time, patience and effort to go and mingle with people there".
Thanks a lot for reading,
Kind Regards!
What you think is the hardest thing to learn from japanesse culture? I think is the language, writenn and spoken because is not even with the letters we are used to.

ReplyDeleteHi teacher, sounds very interesting what you wrote. Also like to visit Japan, because is beautiful and all the whole region is amazing. It reminded me to yazujiro ozu, a japanese filmmaker who shows the old japan and his idiosyncrasy, in a very particular way. Finally, Teacher, why you said that it could be difficult "mingle" with the japanese?
ReplyDeleteJapan is always one of the favorite destinations for video game fans.
ReplyDeleteIdiosyncrasy always works against us when we visit very distant countries. :(
Warm greetings!
ReplyDeleteJapan is amazing, the samurais, their values and anime
Hi teacher
ReplyDeleteI really would love to visit Japan, and i want to live there at least a year if i can (but if not, i would be very happy only with a visit haha). I agree with you about the point of the idiosincrasy, i think that because of our socialization its really difficult to us to adapt, or more than adapt, find a confortable way to live and start to relate with other people. For some people that would be more easy. But after all i think that meet other countries and, espcially countries with sometimes, a very different concept of the world, life, and traditions, it would be always a hard challenge but in the same way i think that the rewards are endless.
I hope u and ur family be healthy, and thanks for read my comment
See u in class!
hi, what's your favorite video game? Probably if I go to Japan I would like to visit in spring the Osaka castle and go to Hakone🏔
ReplyDeleteWow, the way you described Japan makes me want to visit the place, and learn about the culture. Do you recommend any place in particular?. Great blog, i will visit again!
ReplyDeleteHi, I consider Japan a very interesting destination for its culture and history, however, I share the idea of not living there haha!
ReplyDeletethe same happens to me
DeleteJapan looks like a place of great contrasts. Rural places seem frozen in time while technology is everywhere in the city
ReplyDeleteHi teacher,
ReplyDeleteI'm not really fan of anime in fact i didn't watch any in my all life, sorry ): but in order to your post i think Japan is very important to that part of culture or to people who is in that world. Always is great to know other person interest so thanks for share this part of yourself with us.
If we could go to the countries that we want to visit at the same time maybe we meet in some spot in Asia.
See you (:
I also want to go there! In fact, my friend is always telling me about this trip taht she wants to do with me there hehe. Their culture is one of the most interestings in the world, their rituals, history, and their obsession with prefection and honor amazes me, and at the same time their suicide rates worry me as much, that particularity is in my mind everytime I talk about mental health, maybe because I'm a Psycology student.
ReplyDeleteHi Teacher,
ReplyDeleteWoow Japan is amazing if you like anime!!!!!!. Id like to meet him so I can enter the world of animation and live that experience. :)
Hello, teach!
ReplyDeleteI think that Japan is traveling to the past and the future in the same country, that makes me intrigued, although the amount of people walking in the center of this city does not seem to me a pleasant point.
Hi teacher! I think Japan has an interesting culture and it is an incredible place. But like you, I wouldn't live there because they are very perfectionists and I'm very disorderly hahaha
ReplyDeleteHi! Japan is so far away, and the language is so different, I’m terrified just thinking about visiting it ahhaha. The only reason to go to Japan would know once more place, but I’m not sot interested to know this place. Besides, I don’t like so much the videogames o things like this.
ReplyDeleteHi! I like Japan very much, especially for the anime, but I wouldn't like to visit him because the harassment is normalized in that country, if visit him, I would with my couple or a friend.

ReplyDeleteHello, it is too fantastic Japan, I love its culture of video games and anime. I am a big fan, my favorite anime is naruto, hunterxhunter, one piece and many more.
DeleteI also like naruto a lot, but my favorite series by far is dragon ball z
Yesterday I was watching an anime called cowboy bepop and I thought about the good quality of the Japanese series haha
ReplyDeleteHi teacher.
ReplyDeleteI like the focused in your post about the Akihabara District and the video games.
I do not would like visit Japan, but I like the japanese tattoo, games and anime, and many months ago I thought I can get a japanese tatto like a frog or "kaeru", but a friend told me: "¿a frog? the people is going to think your are a "sapo", and it is not a good image in the politic left", so I retracted to tattoing me a japanses frog jajajaja
Regards
I love Japan, it's so beatiful!
ReplyDeleteHello, definitely Japan is also a place I would like to visit, the first thing that comes to mind are the technology and neon lights that characterize the place. I’m not a big fan of anime, or video games :( but maybe it would be an opportunity to appreciate all that.
ReplyDeletehello, I also like anime a lot, and yes the culture there is very different. :)
ReplyDeleteAkihabara sounds like a really funny place, i hope that you can go to japan some day!
ReplyDeleteHi teacher, very interesting where you would like to travel. Personally, I don't know much about Japan. However, with the little information I have, I am very struck by how nature and culture coexist, in a way that looks "harmonious".
