Team Harajyuku vs. Waikiki

This week I met with my Kansai collaborative video group. My group includes Desiree, Kaulana H., Naru,  Tomo, and Riho. Although Kaulana was sick and I was unable to meet Riho, I had such a great experience. They were so polite and each had a great personality. They were friendly and we each shared a little about ourselves. We decided to communicate using LINE, google hangouts, google docs. I have never used LINE before, but immidiately downloaded the app and added my new friends to my contact list. LINE is a free app used to communicate with others for free and works great when communicating with those in other countries. Who would have known choosing a topic would be so difficult? Well we didn't figure out a name until we figured out our topic which was also a little difficult. Desiree shared her prior experience doing this project. It helped us to kind of slim down our choices. Finally we came up with the topic about fashion. Later we made the topic a little more specific and came up with what are the fashion trends for the following people in Hawaii and Japan and how do they incorporate social media with their fashion? Our fashion trends would include a university student, night life, kids, and how share fashion on social media. It's interesting how here in Hawaii our weather is the same all year round so we can wear the same thing all year round and in Japan they actaully experience the four seasons and they actually have a great sense of fashion. They even have famous fashion critics. I am looking forward to our next meeting! This project is definitely engaging and a great experience.
