Kansai International Airport

This is an aerial photo of Kansai International Airport, near Osaka and Kobe, Japan. Built on a man-made island in Osaka Bay, and built to withstand earthquakes and typhoons, this is one of the world's most impressive feats in civil engineering.

こんにちは

こんいちは、

ムラんです。This is my blog for First Year Japanese I. I am the old man in the class, having graduated from ND in 2007. I'm back in the Master's of Civil Engineering department, taking my first Japanese course on the side. I have attached photos of Tokyo's skyline and Kansai Airport on the site, scene of some of the world's most innovative structural, earthquake, and tsunami engineering.

I enjoy the challenge of learning a non-Romance language, of learning a new alphabet(s). Japanese culture and history have interested me for some time, and I felt that learning the language would make new learning and working experiences possible for me.

I hope you enjoy my insights on this page.

じゃあまた、
