I continued with the Hiking club from the fall term. Because of this, there is really not a whole lot of new content that can be added.<\/p>\n
Consequently, I’ll just repeat the basic outline and experiences from my previous post. In general, the group only goes on a hike once a month. We once again went to Diamonji, due to it being a relatively easier hike. This allowed for the new study abroad students (both from KCJS and other programs) to get a feel for it. Other meetings were just running along the river (about 2-3 km) to build endurance.<\/p>\n
Most of the communication in Japanese was done before and after the meetings since no one really wants to talk while running.\u00a0 However, I got their early a lot. This allowed for me to play video games and talk about anime with the other early birds. After the runs is when they would talk about upcoming events and hikes. Both sections proved to be a good way to practice casual speech in Japanese.<\/p>\n
Outside meetings, the club hosted several drinking and all you can eat parties, which were basically as informal as could possibly be reached.<\/p>\n
So if you want to see some good scenery and have a more casual CIP, it’s a good experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
