Our Japanese Plus-Tora classmate, Aitana, is going to school in Japan for an academic term. We’re happy to use this blog to share her messages to those of us left behind in DC.

I hope everything is going well in Japanese Plus. I can’t believe it’s already been a month in Japan! 

I am having a great time here and am getting used to the flow of things. I joined some clubs I would have never seen myself doing — karate and tennis! The weather is amazing everyday, so I’ve also started biking to school! Japanese school is difficult — there are a lot of classes and difficult exams every week. Things move very quickly and it can be hard to keep up, but I’ve made some friends and am exploring new places every week! Later today I’m going to Tokyo with a friend of mine. 

Here are some pictures of some of the things I’ve eaten and seen! I’d love to hear about how things are going in Japanese classes! It’s been a long time.

Tell me everything!
