Blogging is a new thing for me, but I can see how it improves communication. I did not receive many comments, but I did make some friends at other universities. I think to make more friends I need to comment more on other people's blogs. While this is an assignment, I think there is a kind of lack of motivation to update the blog. It would be interesting if we could comment and make friends with students in Japan as well. My blog doesn't have many pictures or interesting stories, and I think to attract more visitors I should make it more visually appealing and write posts that other readers can relate to. Overall, the blog project has been a pleasant experience and I think I might make an entry every once in a while over the summer too.
