Mochi is a sticky rice ball, and yuzu is a citrus fruit that is very popular in Japan. My breakfast is very balanced and is always a refreshing way to start the day. That said, I still buy some おにぎり(onigiri) every morning because the Japanese breakfast is quite small!

What music did I listen to this week?:

I am really into R&B! Because I want to improve my Japanese, I have been listening to Japanese R&B. I have also been trying to listen to some Japanese songs that are popular at karaoke, so that I can be ready to go when I make some Japanese friends. On the nerdier side, I listen to some of the arcade game songs as well to memorize the melody and beat so I can play the songs better and faster in the arcades.

What activity was the most fun this week?:

The most fun I had this week was playing DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) in the arcade for one of the first times. The first time I tried it two weeks ago, I was terrible and too embarrassed to move that much. But this time, I went with a friend and we played for 3 hours. Being able to flow to the music and not care that others are watching was an amazing feeling!

What did I read this week?:

I have been reading my Bible every day, as well as a lot of Japanese grammar and vocabulary. A lot of my textbooks are too big to get out and read on trains, so I usually read stuff on my phone.

What games or sports did I play this week?:

I played a lot of rhythm games in the arcade this week, like Taiko no TatsujinChunithm, Dance Dance Revolution and more. Outside of the arcade, I play volleyball with my university club.
