بعد انهائها أبصر كم بليون لفة منذ أن خلقت, كانت الأرض في موقع ما بالنسبة للشمس عندما بدأ التأريخ الميلادي، و اليوم تمر بهذا الموقع النسبي للمرة لل 2013 منذ ذلك اليوم . ما أهمية حدث كهذا على مستوى الكون الفسيح ؟
فعلياً ليس الكثير .بل و ربما يكون أقل أهمية من حدث مثل مرور عقرب الثواني في نفس النقطة على الساعة معلنة بدء دقيقة جديدة من اليوم. لكننا كبشر على الأرض، نحتاج دائماً الى نقاط زمنية فاصلة تجعلنا نقيم ما فعلناه و نخطط لما سنفعله. أتمنى للجميع مشوار أو "شوطة" جديدة حول الشمس مليئة بالعمل و النجاح و التقدم
The 12th Japanese language speech contest reports. Waiting for more reports!^^ 出席したブロッガーの皆さんもよろしくぅ～！ Special offer: Write your report now and get a chance to win.. NOTHING!!!! (valid until 15th of March)
*Edited* First, OMEDETOU GOZAIMASU for all the winners. Congratulations!! This year's speech contest was also an unforgettable event. This time there was a presentation section(English) and a speech section (nihongo).
A lot of interesting subjects were introduced in the presentation; I remember from them: a presentations about festivals in Japan, another one about vending machines, schools, karaoke and a lot of other topics.
Winners. To the left on the lower row is MOMIJI san, the grand winner
The speeches also were really great! There were topics about Thanking mothers(winner speech), OTAKU, music, Islam... there was a topic that talked about how a cockroach could change someone's life! lol (人生を変えたゴキブリ).. It might look like a fun topic, but it holds a deep meaning about respecting all forms of life , as I believe.
In addition to this, students from JUST and UJ performed great skits. Both were wonderful but I am mostly proud of the JUST skit performance! ^^

This year I was the MC , so you can guess, it was TAIHEN! But I'm glad everything went smoothly!
Another thing, I would like to thank the T/O/S NIHONGO SENSEI team!! I could see how much effort it takes preparing for the supikon! おつかれさまでした！Same thanks go to anyone who contributed to this event!
Leave you now with 世界に一つだけの花 (SEKAI NI HITOTSU DAKE NO HANA) song by SMAP. It was performed in the first day of the Japan week. It's my favorite.
Just came back after I attended the opening of the Japan week in the University of Jordan. It was really wonderful, and I was really looking forward to see the SOURANBUSHI ^^ It was really awesome. I was also surprised by the singing of the "sekai ni hitotsu dake no hana" song, because it's my favorite!! And it reminds me of my first year in the university because it was then when I first heard it. The martial arts part was cool too^^ In short, I had a nice day. Sorry there are no pictures, I spent the day taking videos of the performances ^^;
Happy new year for you all! May this new year be full of peace, happy times, achievements and success for everyone! ^^ ..ah forgot to mention the mice..may all the mice live peacefully too :D

Time to bid farewell to a very special year! Welcome 2008!! kore kara mo ganbarimasu! Best of Luck everyone!!
Hi again!^^ The Japanese delegation members went back to Japan. We had really nice times and learned alot of things through this exchange. The farewell party took place this friday, but im very sad because i couldnt go due to some circumstances. Anyway, in this post i want to share some links from the Japanese embassy website about the activities of the Japanese delegation members in Jordan.
Hi all! ohisashiburi da yo ne~! I was a little busy with the Discussion Session activities with the Japanese delegation. In the discussion sessions we had here, we discussed 3 topics : Environment, Media and Education. I attended the environment and the media discussions. The environment discussion took place the day before yesterday (saturday september 8th) in the dead sea. We had a great discussion and nice times....so..time for pictures!
Deadsea view..really nice(saturday september 8th)

Tonight at 2:00 am, the Japanese delegation will arrive to Jordan. They are the Japanese volunteers that took us in the Tokyo tour when we were in Japan. I'm looking forward to meet them again! We will have alot of activities, and they will have fun touring Jordan. We will also provide homestay for 2 nights in Ramadan. I'm glad they will experience Ramadan with us. I hope we will all enjoy our times! (^_^)
We had a meeting today in the Japanese Embassy for the Youth Exchange program that will take place in Japan. It was so fun. (^o^) We, the members of the Jordanian delegation to Japan, met and exchanged ideas about Japan and discussed things that we will talk about in the conference sessions. We will represent Jordan in many aspects including traditional culture, in addition to the discussion sessions there will be also home stay with Japanese Families...(this is the most part im looking forward to do). The Japanese Ambassador also came and welcomed us! We also met with ex-participants of this program and listened to their own experience in Japan. I can say a BIG ADVENTURE is awaiting us. Cant wait! XD At last the embassy served us Sushi! It was so OISHII!!^^ this is my second time trying Sushi, and i can see that i like it more and more each time i try it. See the picture below.
おいしそうですね！本当においしかった！^^
I was once told that the Japanese Language experience iｓ a fruitful experience. 誠！ This is so true, the more hardwork you give Japanese Language, the more you get rewarded(sooner or later). I am very glad that Japanese is a major part of my life! (^_^) Part as a Language, as friends being SENSEIs,Students or even the Embassy folks, and even part of my study future! Thank God for everything.
Hi all! i attended the event and took some shots too! So,i thought blogging today's event would be cool! ^_^ The photos were truely nice. They reflected the life of Japanese children after WW2.(本当の「戦争の子供」の写真を見た：：i saw real pictures of "children of war" ) Some pictures were truely heart breaking, others were cheerful. It was a nice experience , here are some pictures i took : (All photos of exibition were taken by Japanese photographers, all rights reserved ^_^ )
