Oh so tired...

I am very tired. Today for my free day, I went for a 3 hour walk in Nagoya, just to explore. Unfortunately, I couldn`t find a Takashimaya like I was hoping (a department store). I did find another, and found some really nice boots, but I didn`t quite have enough money. At the end of the day I got caught in the rain, went to McDonalds to buy a teriyaki burger, then got on the internet!



Building under construction. Looked intertesting!



Nice colourful chairs, but I probably wouldn`t buy them.





A really nice looking house which was near some torii gates, which led to the site of an old castle. I don`t think the castle is there anymore.



Can anyone tell me what this animal is? It looked really creepy, and isn`t a cat or a dog...



Me!



Another interesting building



Yum! From the Easter bunny, a little early :)



My new electronic dictionary (I bought it yesterday at K`s), which is mainly in Japanese. Quite expensive, but it`s going to be very handy.



Instant rice! I don`t really have enough bench space to actually cook...



Design no Ma - Pretty sure it`s an architectural office.

And now pictures of my dorm room :) Let me know in this post if anyone would like the address - I love to recieve letters! And it would be especially great as I`m a little home sick.

Japanese water makes my hair go curly again - this picture doesn`t really show it too well.


My kitchen :( I miss lots of cooking space!


Bathroom - I can watch tv from my toilet! Hehehe





And that just about wraps it up! Tomorrow we`re going into Nagoya city centre with one of the Japanese students.

君がいなくなると、寂しくなる

The last time I went to Japan, I was really home-sick.  Recently I realised that I never really comprehended that I would actually have to leave .  It was quite silly really, now that I think about it.  However it's easy to do. The original plan this time around was for me to get a job, go over, and D would follow in about a month.  Things changed, and now he's decided to go over three months later.  Initally it was no problem, but now that the time for me to depart is getting closer and closer, once again I'm in the same situation.  Only this time, I'm going to be really alone.  No other exchange students who are in the same situation.  Everyday I think about how awesome and hard this is going to be.  But I know I'm going to a really lovely place, I'm going to be making new friends and my Japanese is going to be awesome...eventually! Plus there's Skype.  And until he gets there I'll keep myself busy and in contact, and time will fl...

Sugiyama Jogakuen Welcoming Party

...it was not a `party`. Today was rainy :( I still haven`t bought myself an umbrella. So when we left, I took one out of the stand. I hoped that whoever owned it wouldn`t be wanting to go out. I`ve noticed Japanese rain is remarkably different to when it rains in Tasmania. In Tasmania, the winds blow, so it`s impossible to use an umbrella anyway. It Japan there is very little, so the rain falls straight down. I actually prefer Tasmanian rain. You`ll hear why later. Sugiyama`s Sunday bus...I guess they don`t expect many people to be going to University. I couldn`t believe how much space there was! So, at 9.20am we arrived at Sugiyama, and I jumped immediately onto the computers. Still no news. There has been no news for a few days now, which is extremely disappointing. When there`s no news, it makes me feel isolated. Once inside CIEP (Center for International Exchange Programs) we became aware that today was going to begin on a formal note. In one of the classroom...

Old Photos - Nagoya Castle, Purikura

I have some semi-old photos I`d like to share which would belong in other posts, but you all might miss them if I put them there. So here they are! Starting with the day we spent with Asami and Yuuko (I took the photos directly from Facebook, so I haven`t been able to make some of them clearer in Photoshop or do any croppping. Sorry!): Oh I did something different for once! The view from my window at night. Left is a 24 hour internet cafe; handy if I ever happen to get locked out after curfew! Top right is apartments I think, and bottom right is a train going past. I never notice them because I`m always so tired. I don`t even remember where this was taken...it must`ve been the second day here because my hair isn`t straight. I think I`m a bit fed up (of some thing ) already. Nagoya Castle: Yes I am in this picture... Hehe it`s me Really, really yummy ramen with lots of vegetables from last night. I al...
