Hey there everyone! Welcome to the Japanese Culture Club's (JCC) official website, or blog rather. Yes, we've finally decided to go online after much procrastination. So far we've managed to get this site up and running in addition to our Facebook group (SCC Japanese Culture Club). A pretty good job, I'd say. Anyhow, keep an eye on this page for regular updates on club activities and pictures and the like.
So since this is a new format and all, I figure that some introductions are in order. I'm David Ha-Becherer, Events Coordinator for the JCC, and I plan to be one of the regular bloggers to this page. I am 19 years old and have been at SCC since 2007, and I joined the JCC in winter quarter '08. As far as major goes, I'm an English major and I plan to transfer to UW next year and major in English and double minor in English linguistics and Asian studies in the hope of becoming an ESL teacher in Japan. In terms of the present, I work 2 jobs on-campus; one as a tutor and the other as a PAL with the HTC Program (if you don't know what that is, feel free to ask). I've taken a year of Japanese language and just this past summer I went to Japan with 3 of my friends from the club. My interests in Japanese culture are pretty widespread; I enjoy anime and manga, video gaming, music, movies, language, history, etc. Pretty much everything really. And if you're at all interested, depending upon the current state of this blog, that's me up in the banner at the top of the page. Anyhoo, that's me in a nutshell. I look forward to blogging here and seeing you all at our future club meetings!
You can also expect posts from club Co-president Yasu Kawamura and perhaps even special guest appearances from Co-president Piers Brooks and Communications Officer Rory Rutledge. We compose the "staff" right now.
Well, all that aside, thanks for reading the blog and we hope you'll enjoy the site and have fun at our meetings. See you all later!
