1) Something I have learned about that I thought was intriguing, was when Dr. Weeks came into class and talked about his trip to western part of Asia. I was the prayer wheel mostly. I have never seen that before, and the fact that there were so many.
2) One thing that I realized about my own culture is that it is connected to others from all over the world. Even though I have traveled in my life, I just never made that connection before.
3) This course has inspired me to learn more about the different Asian countries. Since I have lived in Japan, I have a vague understanding, but I want to know how all the Asian countries are connected, and how they differ.
Cool Stuff
I wanted to hear more Hawaiian music so thats why I picked this vidoe
YouTube - Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole 'IZ' 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' HQ
I really liked the Australian music we heard yesterday, so I wanted to see if I could find any more.
YouTube - Australian Aboriginal Music: Song with Didgeridoo
Since I could not stay for the German group, I decided that I would look up some music from Germany
YouTube - Lili Marlene

Yay looking at Asia! I also thought that Dr. Week's talks were pretty interesting. I mostly liked the Asia trip because the pictures were so beautiful. The Africa show was cool, but the Asia presentation was my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI also enjoyed Dr.Week's pictures and stories. His story about the guy who cocked his gun was CRAZY!!!
ReplyDeleteAlso,living in other countries gives you a connection to them that you never forget. It is good that you can tell other people about your experiences in Japan and spread the wealth. I love hearing about other countries from people who have been.
I watched "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." What a nice rendition! He took more liberty with the melody than any other version I have heard, and it worked so well. I loved the video footage, too. Hawaii is such a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the German video. German usually sounds harsh to me.
ReplyDeleteI also enjoyed the Hawaiian rendition of Over the Rainbow.
Love the Australian music. Wish I could that kind of accent!!!! Good day mate!
