Wonderful Day

 Today, I didn't go anywhere particularly, I just went to a restaurant for dinner with my father. It was really a beautiful day, today! 


 These two photos are taken from my apartment, blue sky! The left one is Toys "R" Us in the back of my place, it's pretty popular in Japan, too. I love the white white clouds above!  The right one is a Japanese shrine in front, I am a christian, thus I don't really go inside of it, but they have many kinds of events through the year, and sometimes the happy sounds of the festival wake me up. I hope I could go to one of the festivals here in Japan and take some photos of it! 

 I want to go somewhere not around my apartment. I'd like to take some pictures and show you! 

Good night!
HEIDI.

Hot!

 Hi, it was hot and humid in Osaka, today! 35℃/95℉ and the humidity max 96%..... One point what I am sad about Japan is the weather, in Summer it's humid and hot, in Winter it's dry and cold. The difference is too big!! Though, someone who likes fashion can have many varieties of clothes and items. That's one of the best point of Japan for me!
 As I told you yesterday, I went to an electronic store to buy chargeable batteries and USB cord for my digital camera, though I couldn't get the cord, I got a card reader
 instead. 


I suppose Japan only has these kind of cute designed battery and card reader. I'm so happy that I found these!
 Hopefully, I will upload some photos tomorrow or someday after. I can't wait to take pictures <3

Good night!

Excited!

 Good evening from Osaka! Unfortunately, I still can't upload pictures, because I don't have a USB cord and chargeable battery for my nice Canon digital camera. Hopefully, I would go to an electronic store and get those. I can't wait to upload some pictures!
 Well, as you know, I am a high school senior, but I also started to work part time at Universal Studios Japan, as a shop clerk in one of the souvenir shops inside the park, if you see a girl whose Asian and White mixed as a clerk in Hollywood area, that should be me. I think the reason why I am hired is that, I can speak 3 languages, Japanese, English and Mandarin Chinese. I hope I'll really have an opportunity to use my language skills for my work, there. There are so many people from all over the world, because of the Harry Potter area! Woo-hoo!
 What I really like about Japan is the number of trains, ferries, and buses run often and they run on time! Even if they have any problem like delay and stoppage of service, they'll give us a certificate of delay and if you miss the last train because of the problem, and you complain with an angry face they'll give you some money for taxis. I am not 100% sure, if they really do the latter one, but some station does. Almost all of the public transport and companies, shops are extremely kind and polite to customers! Once you come to Japan, you will know it! Come on, over!

I think I will have a good night's sleep tonight,

HEIDI.

Who Am I ?

Hey, there nice to meet you.I am Heidi, Heidi Anderson, a high school senior in Osaka, Japan. I have gone through many extraordinary things in my life, not only happy times but also difficult times. Perhaps, many people would think "Where's this girl originally from?" The answer is not simple, haha. My father is Swedish American, my mother is Chinese Malaysian but I was born and raised in Osaka. My first language is English and Japanese(Though Japanese is way better now because I have never received an English education before.) and when I was in the 6th grade I started to go to a Taiwanese school here in Osaka until the end of middle school, therefore I did try my best to acquire Mandarin Chinese for 4 years. As a non-Japanese mixed kid in Japan, I do have many opportunities to think about my self and this mysterious but fantastic world. Hopefully, I could express what it is like to live in Japan from my point of view, and something related to what I am interested in! (Reading newspaper, watching news show, traveling, eating, baking, cooking, make up, fashion, language, movies, singing.) I would be really happy to answer if you have any requests, or questions about me.(As long as I can answer or do, anything would be great!). See you again! 





HEIDI.
P.S. Sorry that my English isn't perfect or maybe awful, I will try my best to take back my English skills. :'(
