Photography, you say? Hopefully, you were able to get some excellent photos for whatever events you needed to cover. My Christmas plans seem rather quiet for the moment, but I have had to chuckle at one of my recent projects. It involved analyzing an element of one country's relationship with another, in my case, Japan's alliance with the United States. As it happens, I chose to focus on anime... and I began my presentation by playing Rica Matsumoto and Megumi Toyoguchi's "High Touch". Overall, that presentation felt pretty good, and yet, to judge from my friends and classmates' presentations, I think that my topic was the most... light-hearted. One talked about prostitution in China, and another talked about trouble between Argentina's automobile market and Brazil's sugar market in the wake of a trade agreement between those two countries. If nothing else, though, I will be happy to wrap up any remaining assignments this week, perhaps even today.
