かすみがうら市を訪れた二人。
大きく広がる霞ヶ浦や一面に広がる蓮根畑を眺めながらのサイクリング。訪れたレストランでは、レンコン豚のしゃぶしゃぶなどの絶品料理を楽しみます。初めて見る帆引き船。大きな白い帆を広げて進む勇壮な姿は、霞ヶ浦ならではの風物詩。興奮気味にカメラのシャッターを切ります。お寺の山門をくぐると、境内にはたくさんのユニークでかわいらしい石像がお出迎え。山のふもとでは柿狩りを体験。取れ立てを食し頬を緩ませます。三ツ石森林公園からは雲海につつまれた幻想的な景色が広がります。自転車を走らせながら、これまでの楽しかった出来事を振り返ります。

My JENESYS Experience
I spent way too long working on this video, and it's been a long time coming, but it's finally done! A short audio blog of my #JENESYS journey from back in March, covering the entire trip from #Tokyo to #KujiCity and back. Most of the video is actually composed of still images, so feel free to listen to it in the background in podcast form. The audio is pretty bad as I recorded most of it on my phone, but hopefully it's at least somewhat comprehensible. I'll try adding subtitles eventually. Any feedback is appreciated. :)
Thanks in no small part to Nitin, Meenakshi, Nithya, Pampa, Prasenjit, Priyanka, Varsha and Vivek for the images, and to everyone else for making the trip a memorable experience. Thanks also to Sayantan for a whirlwind tour of the most exciting parts of Tokyo!
A huge thank you to the great people at Sakuraa Nihongo Resource Centre who selected me for the trip and also to Embassy of Japan in India, The Japan Foundation, New Delhi and JICE for organizing the program every year.
Also, a huge thank you to the ふるさと体験学習協会 and the host families (especially our own アニキ family, Akira Yachi, 谷地幸恵 and お母さん) for their hospitality. 大変お世話になりました。ありがとうございました!

SUMMARY
=======
Tokyo (東京, Tōkyō, ; Japanese: [toːkʲoː] (listen)), officially Tokyo Metropolis (東京都, Tōkyō-to), one of the 47 prefectures of Japan, has served as the Japanese capital since 1869. As of 2014, the Greater Tokyo Area ranked as the most populous metropolitan area in the world. The urban area houses the seat of the Emperor of Japan, of the Japanese government and of the National Diet. Tokyo forms part of the Kantō region on the southeastern side of Japan's main island, Honshu, and includes the Izu Islands and Ogasawara Islands. Tokyo was formerly named Edo when Shōgun Tokugawa Ieyasu made the city as his headquarters in 1603. It became the capital after Emperor Meiji moved his seat to the city from Kyoto in 1868; at that time Edo was renamed Tokyo. Tokyo Metropolis formed in 1943 from the merger of the former Tokyo Prefecture (東京府, Tōkyō-fu) and the city of Tokyo (東京市, Tōkyō-shi).
Tokyo is often referred to as a city but is officially known and governed as a metropolitan prefecture, which differs from and combines elements of a city and a prefecture, a characteristic unique to Tokyo.
The 23 Special Wards of Tokyo were formerly Tokyo City. On July 1, 1943, it merged with Tokyo Prefecture and became Tokyo Metropolis with an additional 26 municipalities in the western part of the prefecture, and the Izu islands and Ogasawara islands south of Tokyo. The population of the special wards is over 9 million people, with the total population of Tokyo Metropolis exceeding 13.8 million. The prefecture is part of the world's most populous metropolitan area called the Greater Tokyo Area with over 38 million people and the world's largest urban agglomeration economy. As of 2011, Tokyo hosted 51 of the Fortune Global 500 companies, the highest number of any city in the world at that time. Tokyo ranked third (twice) in the International Financial Centres Development Index. The city is home to various television networks such as Fuji TV, Tokyo MX, TV Tokyo, TV Asahi, Nippon Television, NHK and the Tokyo Broadcasting System.
Tokyo ranks first in the Global Economic Power Index and third in the Global Cities Index. The GaWC's 2008 inventory classified Tokyo as an alpha+ world city – and as of 2014 TripAdvisor's World City Survey ranked Tokyo first in its Best overall experience category (the city also ranked first in the following categories: helpfulness of locals, nightlife, shopping, local public transportation and cleanliness of streets). As of 2015 Tokyo ranked as the 11th-most expensive city for expatriates, according to the Mercer consulting firm, and also the world's 11th-most expensive city according to the Economist Intelligence Unit's cost-of-living survey. In 2015, Tokyo was named the Most Liveable City in the world by the magazine Monocle. The Michelin Guide has awarded Tokyo by far the most Michelin stars of any city in the world. Tokyo was ranked first out of all sixty cities in the 2017 Safe Cities Index. The QS Best Student Cities ranked Tokyo as the 3rd-best city in the world to be a university student in 2016 and 2nd in 2018.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

Jakarta is predicted to reach 35.6 million people by 2030 to become the world's biggest megacity. Jakarta's business opportunities, as well as its potential to offer a higher standard of living, attract migrants from across the Indonesian archipelago, combining many communities and cultures.Established in the 4th century as Sunda Kelapa, the city became an important trading port for the Sunda Kingdom. It was the de facto capital of the Dutch East Indies, when it was known as Batavia. Jakarta is officially a province with special capital region status, but is commonly referred to as a city. The Jakarta provincial government consists of five administrative cities and one administrative regency. Jakarta is nicknamed the Big Durian, the thorny strongly-odored fruit native to the region, as the city is seen as the Indonesian equivalent of New York (Big Apple).Jakarta is an alpha world city and is the seat of the ASEAN secretariat, making it an important city for international diplomacy.
