(Last week Sunday, I went to Mitsuwa Market. It was the Hokkaido Food Festival. I ate a lot! I ate a sea urchin and crab bento, croquette, creme brulee, and black sesame ice cream. It was very tasty! I also bought Japanese bread, onigiri, ramen, and Orion beer.)

せんしゅう　は　とっても　たのしい　でした〜！

The first of many food posts~

I've many favorite Japanese foods - うどん, ラメン, そば (I obviously grew up on a lot of noodles!), すし, おにぎり - but what I've been craving lately is ぱん! Japanese bread is my favorite bread~ I was lucky to work at Japonaise Bakery when I was in Boston, and they have some of the best ぱん ever~ The first time I ate their しょくぱん, I felt like I had been transported to my childhood! They also have really great pastries and cakes~ So if you ever find yourself in Boston, make sure to visit them!

Now, if only I had the money to try all the Japanese bakeries here in New York...

Hi~!

This is Jess from Park-sensei's class~ The title of my blog comes from an old nickname, "Ducky," which I learned early on was "ahiru" in Japanese. So if you see someone named "ducky" commenting on your posts, that's me.

The reason why I've chose to study Japanese is because of my background. I was born in Okinawa, Japan and lived most of my childhood there until I moved to Hawaii, which has a large Japanese population. Japan and its culture still holds a big place in my heart, hence why I want to be more proficient in the language. I expect that the most difficult part of this class for me will be learning new vocabulary and also kanji. Though this class may grow difficult as the semester goes on, I look forward to learning more Japanese!

こんいちわ！

はじめまして、わたし　は　ジェス　です。わたし　の　ニックネーム　は　”あひる”　です。　コロンビア　だいがく　の　がくせい　です。さん　ねん　せい　です。　ハワイイ　から　きました。にほんご　は　たのしい　です！　

どうぞ　よろしく。
