I'm SUPER excited to finally be going back to Japan since it's been more than six years since the last time I was there in 2008. I'm sure that everyone knows this by now, but what I'm most looking forward to is to be able to learn Osaka-ben! I love their dialect and how fun it sounds. Perhaps I'll even run into Shinya Arino of Game Center CX (even though he films his show in Tokyo…).
What I'm most worried about is the language barrier (since I am not that fluent), getting lost, and getting sick (cause last time I got all doped up on the tons of drugs the doctor gave me). Being able to read and understand the bullet train maps will probably be the biggest problem for me since I don't have a great sense of directions and I was told that the Osaka bullet train lines are harder to figure out than Tokyo. But whatever, I'll try my best. What I look forward to is, of course, learning their accent, learning more about their culture, and all the food! I heard that Osaka is somewhat famous for their tokayaki, which I love to eat, so I'm excited to try that as well as any other specialties the Kansai region has to offer. The last time I was in Japan, my friends mother made so many delicious meals for us, so if I'm given the chance to stay with a host family, I will definitely be looking forward to their cooking. Here's to hoping I get accepted! Comments are closed.
