Learning the rules!

Cheers! I’ve been having the most difficult time posting updates lately! My laptop conveniently broke before my trip so most of my posting has to be done through phone! Fortunately I’ve been able to take a few videos and photos of my trip (still figuring out how to correctly add everything.)

So far, the trip has been amazing. It’s good to experience a different culture, but also a little scary.

The most difficult thing is that I don’t have a full understanding of the language (yet) so sometimes it’s hard for me to tell when I’m being impolite! The other day I walked into a fitting room with shoes on, which is something one shouldn’t do. I felt so embarrassed! I think eating in public might be frowned upon as well (but I really like to eat.)

I’m going to try to upload some pictures of my trip so far!

ใ“ใ‚“ใฃใซใกใฏ! My name is Karon Cannon and Iโ€™m a junior at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. Iโ€™m currently studying Advertising and Marketing Communications and pursuing a minor in Japanese Language. I hope to work in the interactive Entertainment Industry using the growing culture of videogames to promote social change. This is a large step in the right direction! Thereโ€™s so much to learn as so much culture behind the language, that I am thrilled to have the opportunity to study it in Japan. Iโ€™m looking forward to traveling with my classmates and professor so I can build on what Iโ€™ve already learned throughout my time here at FIT.
