Living in a house
with 8 people in Aikawa, right next to Osaka proper. Went for a stroll along
the river this morning (when jet lag wakes you up at 6:40, might as well take
advantage of it, no?), and managed to get lost. Even better, I managed to
squeak out some Japanese and refind myself. My roommate, Mizuki, is extremely
nice and seems to speak even less English than I speak Japanese. We’re… sort of
managing to communicate. Thank goodness Japanese classes start tomorrow.
I started off my
arrival in the truly Japanese manner, sleeping on a bed with no mattress. Came
with two comforters, one to sleep on and one to sleep under.
