R2 – ようかい

There are many different yo-kai in Japan and I decided to chose Kappa as my yo-kai since it is a yo-kai I know best. Kappa’s are know for being turtle like creatures that have the ability to walk like human, they have green or blue skin and have a shell. The most defining feature of a kappa is that it has this big water droplet on there head. The kappa is known for being a little gremlin who lives under bridges and if you dare either put your feet over the bridges fence or decide to swim in the water this kappa will try to drown you. Japan’s yo-kai is much more graphic then monsters from the west since Japan decides to be a bit more detailed in how you die and the west decides for the monster to scare you. I don’t really believe ghosts. It can’t exist if you can’t sense it, you can’t see, smell, hear, taste or touch a ghost. So I believe they don’t exist.

R1 – Independent Child

The first time I ever used transit by myself was my first year at “Centennial Secondary High School.” Now that’s much older then any independent kid in Japan. However, since I am so much older I have more experience and knowledge with danger in everyday life. The first time I took transit by myself was when I was going to school. A very boring first time but it was my first so of course I should include it. If school is out of the equation then my memory says that the first time I went somewhere was to meet up with a friend in a mall.
