More on Hobbies

Recently, we learned about hobbies in class.  We learned that some of the most popular pastimes among Japanese middle and high school students are reading comics, playing sports, and playing video games.  It was uncommon for me to encounter a student in Japan that didn't partake in at least one of these activities regularly.

Unlike the US, there are still many arcades scattered throughout Japan.  During my time teaching in Japan, it was very common for me to run into students at local arcades, comic shops, and game stores.

What are some of your hobbies?  How do you think you could incorporate your interests with your language study?
