let the good times roll!

incase there was any doubt...this beer is brewed for GOOD TIMES ONLY.

hehe...took this with me fone while waiting for a table outside a soba place at lunch time earlier last month.

hurrah...i survived!

got through the first week of japanese classes...alive!!!....yay!

I haven't been in a class in three years almost..and then this week I have had to be in a class...after getting up at 6ish every morning in the cold...and commuting for one hour...20minutes of which is spent squashed against strangers in a packed train. yes, life is hard. Did i mention that each of those morning classes MON-FRI were all three hours each?


yeah so i cant wait to buy a carton (read get cans of beer out of vending machines) and celebrate my survival...but cant celebrate too much as allowance gets in mid Oct and a lot of us are going broke...so yeah.

also...got a stack of HOMEWORK for the weekend and two tests next week...that i KNOW of. so yeah..there goes the weekend.

Also...its going to be a tough 6months. Learning a foreign language...with three sets of alphabets...i have come to realise..is going to be difficult. but I am at 0 level so it can only go up from here.

so yeah. virtual fiji bitter cheers to the weekend...and posh who is celebrating his birthday!!! dammit, wish i were there!

one month...and counting

Wow...

for the first time in my life...I havent seen the sea in...30 days

...and counting.

sigh.

now that I`m back in the blogosphere!

This post is long long overdue! Have been in Tokyo 29 days and counting...and oh what an interesting ２9 days it has been！

Have photos to go with several different stories...some hilarious engrish and the usual unusualness! That will come in due time...still waiting to get a laptop...but when i do the updates will be less irregular.

Today the Japanese language classes started. brain=pulp. but things will improve. just nod in approval.

Arrived in Tokyo during summer so 20days or so were bloody hot! More humid than Suva at times and of course there was the occasional downpour that made me feel like i hadn't left Suva at all! The last two days though have been kinda cold. Autumn is here...although in my terms its winter so when the actual winter begins. brrr. freeze. if i don't write know that my fingers are probably frozen stiff.

The dorm...is nice. Scored one of the best rooms in the dorm!!! On the 5th floor...overlooking a buncha trees and garden type thing as well as some of the buildings...so a nice mix. Some of the other kids got rooms that were looking right into the trees which meant no breeze on the hot summer nights and great audibility when it comes to the crickets (cicadas). The cicadas are annoying as hell. But have died out or something with the cold! thank goodness. There are about 300 or so single students..co-ed. and a coupla couples. ppl from everywhere...countries that i had to go and check on the atlas!!! hmm...france, spain, moldova, madagascar, denmark, sweden, switzerland, sudan, russia, etc etc....

hmm...i will not attempt to sum up the 29 days in one post...that will require a few days of writing. So will complete this in intervals.

until then. mata ne!
