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.

Another Post for Today!

Thought I should put up some of the photos that others have added of me on Facebook: I think I look about 10 years old in this one! Terrible photo of me! I never realised my hair colour was so light Welcoming Party...oh yes I love photos. Especially when they stand there for ages and I know it's about to happen. You're bound to get a lovely photo out of it. Pfft. The colour of my skin looks weird, and something is not quite right with my face! It's weird, I can't work it out... On a side note, 売買, pronounced baibai means buying and selling. Easy as! I'll have no trouble forgetting that one! Okay, back to study :D

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...

The Final Week...

Well it's not quite here!  My 'official' last week in Tasmania will be from next Monday.  In preparation I have made plans to make the most of my time in Hobart and the surrounding areas, and of course to spend time with Dede.  We're going to be doing more sight-seeing than we've done since living here! 13th Saturday: Get up early (preferably before 12; this is a struggle for us!  My body clock is still following our night-fill hours) and go to Salamanca Market.  From 8pm, 13 of us will be heading to The Quarry for dinner, then from 10pm we'll be joined by 20 - 30 others! 14th Sunday: Free day.  Most likely recovering from the previous night. 15th Monday: Zoodoo (Ridiculous name, but apparently there are tigers!  I doubt it is a proper, big zoo, but it's the best Tasmania has, I guess).  Apparently there are some mazes in the area, but it's a good place for Dede to practice his new found love.  Photography. 16th Tuesday:  Port Arthu...
