July 4th, 2014 from Sydney Morris on Vimeo.   Last year I wrote about Independence Day and elaborated on how/why us Americans celebrate July 4th. This year, I decided to share how my community celebrates.   Do you and how do you celebrate your country? Continue reading →

Streams of Thoughts & Memories

Posted on July 3, 2014 by Sydney Morris • Leave a comment

One of my absolutely favorite writing styles are thought streams. And memories are my favorite thoughts to describe in this fashion. Four major cities in six months. Paired with each I have created a mosaic of memories and a thought stream of places or a specific moments. Considering I was based in Hiroshima, I had … Continue reading →

Exploring Tokyo like a True Tokyoite – well at least from my perspective. To permanent city dwellers, I probably looked like a very lost Gaijin. On the Shinkansen ride to Tokyo I thought about Hiroshima, Naoshima, Kyoto, and all the random locations I had adventured through around the country and I became very excited because … Continue reading →

Eating and Cooking in Japan

Posted on May 27, 2014 by Sydney Morris • Leave a comment

I have found food in Japan has a very different flavor than foods I have tried in other places, and it particularly has quite a unique over all flavor. It isn’t really a salty or a sweet or a spicy flavor, but some combination that I have only experienced in Japan. Don’t get me wrong, … Continue reading →

Japan in a Polaroid Picture

Posted on April 28, 2014 by Sydney Morris • Leave a comment

My favorite part about the polaroid camera is the lighting. I have been experimenting with this lately and have yet to be disappointed by the mysterious and inconstant behaviors of the exposure. Something about taking pictures of people is great with the polaroid too; as if it captures the entirety of the moment rather than what can be caught … Continue reading →

Aikido

Just relax. A message given to us by our Sansei every time we enter the Dojo. Take a deep breath, don’t think too much, and just relax. One of the most important acts I learned after a meer five lessons of aikido was that in order to win, you need not fight. This martial art is … Continue reading →

Winter Weekend Wonders and Conclusions

Posted on February 4, 2014 by Sydney Morris • Leave a comment

I tried skiing for the first time, almost exactly one year after I tried snowboarding for the first and last time. My snowboarding can be explained in two words: painful and freezing. Skiing, however, fits neither description. It was a beautiful day out, nice enough to dress light, but still wintery. I strapped on skis, … Continue reading →

Living Life

Posted on January 30, 2014 by Sydney Morris • 3 Comments

It is more about how you are living your life, than the result at the end. This was the underlying theme of a day spent immersing ourselves into the culture of Japan. This past Tuesday, Grades 9 and 10 drove through the mountains and past rivers to come to a temple where we witnessed a traditional tea … Continue reading →

First Two Weeks…

Posted on January 25, 2014 by Sydney Morris • Leave a comment

General overview of my first two weeks in Hiroshima… Here’s a little something I wrote on the 1.5 hour plane ride from Tokyo to Hiroshima, Imagine catching your breath and holding it. Hold it and imagine the energy of the oxygen building up in your chest the way pop does when you drop a mentos … Continue reading →

Borrow My Notes

Posted on January 17, 2014 by Sydney Morris • 1 Comment

I have been in Japan for just about a week now. To be honest, it feels as though I have been here for a month! However, I am quite grateful to feel that way because the feeling of just arriving can be excruciating at times. Not in a negative way, just in the way that … Continue reading →
