Hello
how's it going as the title suggests
this is Luke in Osaka
which is a series of
vlogs that I will use to document my experience in Osaka
I'm Luke I'm not in Osaka yet
right now I am still in america
but i just want to use this time
and in this video as sort of an introduction
to the vlog you know about myself
and about what I wanted to you with vlog
just a little kinda background on myself
I'm currently a college student I go to an art school in the states
so the program then I'm
that I'm affiliated with right now works with my school
to set me up with an art school in Osaka
however my program is a little a little bizarre
when he compares in with the other
some programs that i've seen and
like I said I go to an art school but I'll be there for total of six months
however the first three months will solely be
just Japanese language
and I will be doing that at another university so while I'm there I will be going to
two separate universes
so like I said first three months just language and then the second
set up three months will be at a
traditional just like Japanese art college and that's where I'll take all of my artsy
classes
so I guess or just go on like why I want to do this vlog
I mean the simple fact the matter is that I just always love Japanese
vlogs in high school I spend just a lot of time watching
vlogs and like you know just wanting to go to Japan so I can do a vlog myself
and now I'm going and I get the opportunity to do a vlog
so thats why I am doing at the plain and simple you know
and in the thing that I
you know really loved about blogs when I was younger and still do is that
you know they kind of calm my nerves a little bit
know if that makes any sense because they said I've always wanted to go
by it it was always I was always so excited and so kind so frustrated that
couldn't go
right at that moment that I would watch these vlogs and it would have helped me
I'm calm down a little bit and just experience the culture through another
person's eyes
and that's something I always thought was just really amazing about blogs
and I hope that I can
you know be a window into the culture for some people
and I mean at the very least what I really want to do is just help people
who
wanna study abroad in Japan or are trying to decide
whether or not they want to study abroad in Japan
so you know I hope I can be of some help in that respect just help be the
deciding factor
so like I said I'm going to Osaka Japan and
I feel like
in terms cities I could have been placed in
osaka is like perfect for me just because
osaka is sort of like a cultural hub
Japan from what I've read in that from what I understood is that like it's like
they've got a very big art scene huge
underground music scene which yeah I'm way into just like the Japanese
underground music
same goes for like film I really love Japanese independent cinema
and just Japanese cinema in general I know that they have like a really big
food culture which is fantastic
and I'm so excited to eat okonomoyaki
I hope I'm pronouncing that right or you know
I know that they have like a big
vendor culture so they sell a lot of cool stuff which
will be nice
yeah I mean I just there's so much to do so much there that I'm interested in
within that general area so it's just like a fantastic
fantastic choice you know I know that they have the Tezuka museum
nearby and I'm a big fan of Tezuka
same goes for denden town
which is kind of like it's this it's similar to
Akihabara in Tokyo
it's like think otaku culture and electronics
and video game stuff like that
so I'm very excited about that and I know that osaka has like
an american town and
where I guess people just hang out and
eat McDonalds and listen to Kanye West
or something like that so I don't I don't really know
but I'm excited visited am excited just did
take it all in you know and
so in I'm excited to share with you guys
cause I will that's the point of this blog so just a quick thing
about this this vlog you know I'm hoping to post the video at least once a week
hopefully more cause I'll be seeing so much
so it would be ridiculous not
to show it to you and so
I'll be putting it up as often as I can
I gotta go pro so I'll be able to walk around Osaka and share with the people
which I'm so excited about
I'm hoping to have like a blog component as well
to this I'm still not quite sure what that's going to be
could just be like pictures you could just be like
short diary entries
but there will be I'll have some more info on that in the next video
And finally you know this is going to be a short video so I just want
to conclude with that
if you guys have any questions
about myself or about the program please put him in the comments below I'll be
happy to answer them
in the next video or
you know if I just get get enough for my may just do a question
video and
I suppose that's it for now like I said I should
be doing these hopefully once a week
and so be getting those out there but until then
yes I gotta say the normal YouTube thing of rate comment and subscribe
cause I'll put good stuff up they're I promise
but until then thank you so much for watching and I'll see you next time
