こんばんわ

Why am I taking Japanese? Hmmm...

Well I am taking Japanese because I want to study aboard in Japan but that doesn't completely answer the question.

I want to study aboard because of my interest in Japanese culture which stems from my exposure to some of the culture during my time in the dojo.

I have taked karate since 6th grade through a dojo in my home town that instructs using the shito-ryu style and I really love the art! As I have spent more time there I have also learned a bit about Japan and I really want to learn more because it seems interesting and some day I hope to study at one of the dojos that originated the art.

I am interested in the collectivist culture of Japan, especially the emphasis they place on family ties. Also, the close tie they feel to their history is intriguing. Finally, the small things are equally intriguing from the characteristic architecture to the sakura festivals.
