Konnichiwa!!!!!
Hi everyone, I hope everyone is doing well. I have been wanting to start a blog for a long time, and this trip to Japan is just a perfect time for me to make my plan into actions :) I hope to write and post new pictures every week of my journey here in NIPPON. So, here is the first one..
After quite a few months putting in long hours at work, I am so excited for this change of scenery. Working until Saturday only left me one day to pack, but I guess it was enough. Arriving at Japan today, I am currently staying at a hotel near the airport and will be moving to the Shonan Village Centre (SVC) tomorrow to start the orientation week. Browsing on some websites, I know that the place we are staying is looking across Mt. Fuji , sooo excited!!!! I am bringing my newly bought camera with me and expecting to take a lot of pictures tomorrow!
Weather in Japan has been good so far (around 25C), but I already miss the sun shining till late night in Canada. I am such foreigners too when thinking there would be tons of sushi at dinner -- Turn out people here do not eat sushi as much as we think we do LOL... a lot of fish though, so definitely good source of proteins with no FAT for me ;)
As I mentioned, we are moving to SVC tomorrow and will be having meetings with our groups from each country. There are only 6 of us from Canada, so I hope I will get to know them better after the orientation. The rest come from USA (like 50 of them), Germany, UK, and France (~ 10 each). I was going to bring my Laurier Science t-shirt to represent, but it got ripped after laundry...boo! By the way, we have to get up at 6:30am tomorrow for the orientation ( I guess they know already we wont be able to sleep anyway because of jetlag so why wasting time right? :))
I am listening to some Japanese radio station right now (1:40AM) while writing this blog. Japanese is definitely a very soothing language. It brings me calm and peaceful feelings. I will start my Japanese lesson on Thursday, so expecting some Japaneses in my later posts :)
This is it for me right now! Oh, the pictures in the blog is my room at the hotel in case you cant tell :). I will keep us updated with more activities later this week. Bed time for me now!!( dont worry I already slept for a few hours after dinner at 7pm lol)
Ps. Have fun at Frisbee everyone!! GO RED RADIATION!
