Week 7 Already?

Extensive Listening/Viewing HW

せんしゅう　にほんの　えいがを　みました。 

The えいが was very cool as I got to see how visual effects are streamlined. It was a えいが about a bomb being planted on the bullet train and how it could not go below a certain speed, but it also focused on political climates of にほん, the がっこう life of the children on the train and the role of a conductor. It shows me how much more valued service workers are in にほん compared to アメリカ, which can also be a representation of collectivism vs individualism between the east and the west.

I recognized a lot of words that involved actions like ジョギング, みる, のむ, and たべる (such as when the cart lady asked the kids if they wanted something to eat). Also, I learned more about the role of trains in にほん and how they can actually travel very long distances across the くに. I also found out the にほん emergency number is いち いち きゅう not 9-1-1 like アメリカ, which was interesting how even emergency numbers can change.
