日本語：「日本での学生生活が楽しみだ」
Sorry about the silence. I’ve been in Tokyo for about 36 hours now. I thought I’d quickly summarize what I’ve been up to. (It’s not very interesting!)
The flight and trains to my friend’s station weren’t so bad. Once I got there though I realized I was never in a million years going to find my friend’s apartment, so I asked for directions at the local police box. After talking me through it one of them suddenly decided he’d walk me to the apartment. Needless to say people watching a tall blonde foreigner being escorted by the police suspect the worst, so I’m probably the bandit of Nogata or something. The policeman didn’t speak any English so it was a case of being ‘thrown in at the deep end’ although in reflection that’s probably a good thing. Regardless, we made it and I was asleep by 8pm. And awake by 2am. Urgh, I hate jetlag.
Today I explored Shinjuku and then met up with a bunch of people from Sheffield, before meeting up with Lynsey (who I’ve known since my gap year in 2006) for some much needed food, beer and Karaoke. It was a great refresher course in the life of the Tokyo party person.
Tomorrow I’m heading over to my student accommodation, and everything including my course kicks off from then. I hope to get online again soon to do a proper update, so consider this really just a ‘I’m still alive, don’t worry!’ update. So until then!
