Hey everybody!
My name is Ryan Holoweckyj, and I am a member
attending the 2016 Senshu program. Our group of four will be looking into
Japans culture of cafés. Japans cafés are very different compared to those in Canada
often having specific themes or containing animals of different types. I hope
that through experiencing these different types of cafés, and speaking to those
who work in them I can gain insights into a bit of japans culture.
A little about myself, I am a second year
computer science major at the University of Calgary and am currently pursuing a
minor in Japanese. My interest in Japan is
born from my love of Japanese video games. Specifically, when I was young, my friend
lent the Playstation 2 Japanese RPG Disgaea. From that point on my interest in Japanese culture
began to grow. I started watching anime, reading translated novels, and listening
to Japanese music. In summer of my first year of university I began learning
the Japanese language. Learning the language increased my appreciation for Japanese
culture and, as a result, I decided to join this program.
I have never been to Japan and as such am
very excited to be participating in this program. I look forward to
experiencing many aspects of Japans culture, eating all the food, and improving
my Japanese language ability.
Thanks for reading!
Ryan Holoweckyj
