About this Blog

こんにちは!
Hello!
My name is Grant and I am a junior in high school. I am sixteen and detail-oriented. I have four people in my family other than myself: my mom, dad, older brother, and younger brother. I also have a dog named Tucker. I am involved in band, show choir, speech, and drama. I like Japan.

In English, this introduction might sound weird, but this is something that you would say in Japan to introduce yourself. Japan has always interested me. My older brother, Josh, took the class in high school and I instantly became transfixed by the language and the characters that he could instantly spout out. I really wanted to learn all I could so in the summer before freshman year, I took a Japanese course at Coe College. There, we learned bits of the language and some pop culture. When I started high school, I knew that it would only enhance my craving for knowledge about Japan. In this blog I will, to the best of my ability, teach you tidbits about Japan. This will include, the language, culture, history, arts, phrases, and day to day life. Having been to Japan, I will tell you about my experiences in a Japanese home, school, and being on the street in Japan. I hope you enjoy my insight on Japan while reading.
