Wessel in Japan.


Konnichiwa and hey! My name is Wessel, I’m 17 years old and come from Holland and this is my first blog post. I will stay here in Japan for 11 months and will be living at several home stays. This is the second time I have visited Japan. Last year I won a scholarship to go to Japan for five weeks and I really enjoyed those weeks so that’s one of the main reason I wanted to go back. During this year I hope I will read many great manga, learn more about the Japanese history and arts and I really want to improve my Japanese as well.


There are a lot of manga that I like. At the moment my favorites are: One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Slam Dunk, Death Note, Gantz, Akira, Berserk and many more. I also like to draw manga myself, although I still need some more practice.


Beyond that, when I was 14 years old I wanted to learn more about the history of Japan. I really liked samurai and budo (martial arts). Two years ago I wrote a really big essay about the Meiji period though at first I didn’t really knew much about it, I learned a lot while writing it.


At the moment my Japanese is not really good. I can’t read hiragana or katakana and I only know a few words, but I’m very sure I will learn a lot while I’m studying here at Seiritsu and living here in Japan.


I’m sure I will have the best time of my life during the next couple of months. I hope I will make lots of friends and learn a lot about the Japanese language and culture. I know that it will be difficult at some points, but I’m sure it will work out well.
