I am currently living in Japan for the summer. I am a junior at Harvard University and was sponsored by the Reischauer Institute to come to Japan and have an un-paid internship.

Although this was two weeks ago, I still strongly recall the pain that was Mt. Fuji. At first, it seemed like the hike wouldn't be too bad...long and not really what you would call true hiking. But, then it got worse. Because we were hiking on a three-day weekend, there were so many people there. Rather than enjoying the hike up the mountain and the beautiful view when you looked down, it was like waiting in line for what seemed like forever. My favorite part (of course) was when we got to the top. The view was pretty amazing. For miles [View Full Entry]
This past weekend was fantastic. Dan and I visited Kyoto, which we felt was superior to Tokyo. When you think of Japan, Kyoto is probably what you think of. In the city, there were many different sites to see. I highly recommend seeing Toji temple, even though it is not one of the "must-sees" in Kyoto. It has some really cool golden Buddhas inside- this is probably the best temple with these. Also, if you go into the souvenir shop in many of these temples, there are some really cool carved Buddhas. There were many larger, intricately crafted Buddhas/temples, but they [View Full Entry]

Last weekend was amazing and exhausting... On Friday, a bunch of Harvard interns and I (along with colleagues), went to a Japanese baseball game- the Marines vs. Hawks. Prior to the game, about 10 of us were allowed to go have a pre-game tour. Although I wasn't lucky enough to originally be selected for the lottery, someone couldn't go at the last minute and I was able to call in time and get it! At the stadium, we met Taro, a Harvard intern who is interning with the Marines and who got us free tickets to the game! He walked us [View Full Entry]

On June 11th I arrived here in Tokyo. After leaving Narita Airport, I went to go see my new apartment in Roppongi, one of the most well-known districts of Tokyo because of its night-life. My apartment is nice- it has just enough room for my boyfriend and I. The most interesting part about our apartment are the buttons- the incomprehensible ones even to my boyfriend who has had two years of Japanese. In the kitchen there is a set of buttons to turn on the bath and heat the water. When the bath is full, the sound of a woman's voice [View Full Entry]
