Settling in


I finally have internet, it only took them a week to set it up.
Now that I have it i've been on everyday talking to my family and Ahmed almost everyday.

Since I arrived to Kanna-machi, hachi gatsu youka (aug.8th), I've been able to unpack everything, fix the desk and bookshelf area, clean up a bit, do some laundry (do that almost everyday), etc...

After have a few days to myself Ahmed arrived and was able to spend a few days of showing him around and just hanging out. After having him here for a few days I had to go to Maebashi, the capital of Gunma, for a three day orientation. The best day of the orientation was the last day, we were able to have culture days and got to do calligraphy, shiatsu and play with traditional Japanese instruments the Koto & Shakuhachi.

But the best outing was on the second night tons of us all went to, yup you guessed it KARAOKE!!!! All you can sing and drink for 2 hrs for just 2600 yen. It was hella fun and we all had a blast!(especially those who drank all the alcohol they cud ^_^).

The 19th was a bit of a sad day, Ahmed had to go back to the States :(

Since then I finally got my Alien ID and was able to open a checking account.
now all i need is a car.

What I do on my free time is study Japanese and watch weird Japanese tv game and shows. Some of them are hella out there but i luv watching them ^^

So I've also been taking lots of pics and have now opened a account at photobucket, thou i'm still trying to dwnload pics and short movies i've been taking with my new digital cam.

Chat with you all later.
