So I thought it would be pretty cool to learn.  Aside from Japanese, I’m taking evolution, ecology, and biology. Along with labs for some of them. So my schedule can be むずかし at times.  わたしは　ノートルダムガ　すきです、 でも、ハワイが　だいすきです。 ひこうきの　チ...

  宮城県に　りょこうしませんか？ Miyagi is a Japanese prefecture north of Tokyo on the east coast of Honshu island. It has a Pacific coastline, western mountains and several natural parks. Matsushima city is set on a bay with 250 rocky islands topped with pine trees, the Zuigan-ji Zen temple has an art museum, and the Zao Fox village is most popular with tourists. In Miyagi’s capital, Sendai, are the remains of 17th-century Sendai Castle, built for samurai lord Date Masamune. Zuigan-ji Zen Temple is surrounded by shallow caves and a grove of towering cedar trees. The current temple buildings date from 1609 when the founder of Sendai, Masamune Date, ordered Zuigan-ji built as his family temple. Befitting his ambition and sense of beauty, Masamune brought in wood and master craftsmen from the Kyoto area to erect a temple with architectural features common to castles of the time.   Zao Fox Village is located in the heart of Miyagi, and is one of the best places in Japan to go and see foxes.

 The media I chose today was on fishing in Japan. Specifically for Giant Trevally which go by many names, GT, Rouninaji(浪人鰺) in Japanese, and Ulua as I commonly know them in Hawaii. This has been my dream fish to catch back home, which lead me to choose this video. To include that the video is sponsored by the Japanese fishing gear company Shimano that I am quite the fan of and have many of their products myself. The video itself is of Kenzaburo Fukui, a captain and angler who has caught many  GTs. As the captain of a fishing cruise ship specializing in GT, He spends his days running  around the sea area from Amami Oshima to the Tokara Islands, and the mission entrusted by Shimano is the actual fishing test of the newly added Stradic SW14000XG. I found it interesting that not only where some of Fukui's fishing tactics different from mine, but I could make out some words and phrases throughout the video. Overall my it made me see that fishing is an integral part of the Jap...
