Well, my flight ended with an eight hour delay. I eventually got to Tokyo around 10:40 local time. I called the director of my program when I got through customs only to be told that the instructions I recieved were useless by that time of night. With the help of a friendly, English speaking Japanese couple, I caught the last train out of the Airport and took a taxi from there to the place where my orientation was held. I finally got to the place where I was staying by about 12:30 and passed out almost immidiately.
The next couple of days were spent almost entirely in orientation. We sat through long hours of powerpoints and "useful information." Some of this was actually very helpful and some of this was completely useless. However, I endured the first two days and only have one more left.
Today, we moved into our permanent housing. Although I applied for a homestay, I was sent to a dorm, Higashi Funabashi. It is located in Funabahsi city, a suburb of Tokyo wich is actually a legitimate city. The room is larger than I expected and has about 9 other people from my program, 4 of which are on the year long program and have been here since August. At least one other person in this dorm also applied for a homestay, so I wasn't alone in my disappointment. I am putting up some pictures of my room with this post. I will post again when I have more to say than the food here is excellent, which subsequently it it.

I see that your room is so spacious that the bed can be positioned 2 ways ... which makes it larger than Amelia's room her senior year.
ReplyDeleteI like the sink
ReplyDeleteI like the fact that the room is white... I bet that lamp throws itself all over that room and give you some good light everywhere... all because of the white point.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, you FAIL at homeguest or housestay or apartmentcrasher or whatever you wanted to be. Its because you're white.
Andy: if you like that sink, you have to be the most atrocious, most audacious, most auspicious, most attelable, most annotates, most antiquated, most ameneable, most applicated, most abblated, most agitated, most accented, most aggravated person I can even imagine.
I like the lamp.
why does your sheet have a big hole in the very middle?
ReplyDeleteThe hole in the middle is just the hole in the cloth around the comforter. I can only assume that it's a style thing. Also, I noticed soon after plugging my lamp in that it has no bulb, so I actually have not used it yet.
