Had my first day of classes today. Was pretty rad. Though most of what was discussed today was familiar, it was good to brush up.
The class is made up of two people, me an Takeyoshi from Taiwan, which is cool. Japanese only.
Our teacher is funny as hell.
Took my intake exam today to determine my skill level. Went ok. Tomorrow classes will commence. Am excited. Biked around town a little to take some photos but find it hard to not be the gaijin taking photos and being a total idiot whilst doing that. For the same reason my blip is not going great. Hopefully, tomorrow will provide better pictures as I will check out the Yamasa Halloween Party.
For now, I cannot sleep.
After some serious plane-ing and trane-ing I arrived at Okazaki. Been here for half a day now, but before I was too jetlagged to write and now I am too jetlagged to sleep.
I have been reading in Murakami’s After Dark, which Sy gave me before I left, and am liking it.
The Japanese around me has made me realize I have long long way to go, but am excited about learning and motivated by my lack of Japanese language skills.
It is so cool to finally be in Japan (and stay here for while), you wouldn’t believe.
