Rain in Tokyo
Yesterday it started to rain and it hasn’t stopped since, I’ve bought an umbrella but I still manage to get wet. Today is the first day I’m staying at home doing nothing in particular. I like it, it’s been so much the last few days and I’m feeling very tired.
I tried a Yukata on yesterday, a purple one. Yukata is a kind of summer kimono. I haven’t been able to upload any pictures to my photo album because of my universities proxy. But as soon as I solve that problem I will publish the photos of me in a Yukata! I also saw a concert yesterday, it was great. One of the band members, Morinau, studied in Uppsala last year and he speaks quite good Swedish. I went there with Izumi, Rei, Yuki, Pia and Ayumi and it was great seeing Rei and Yuki again. I didn’t get to talk very much with Yuki but I talked a lots with Rei. He’s such a funny guy! I feel that I’m learning some Japanese and I think I will learn even more when school starts. I placed for japanese level 1B and that’s where I think I belong. I don’t think I’ll have to learn hiragana and katakana all over again. I’m taking some extra kanji and Japanese classes to. Actually I was surprised that they had different biology related classes I could take. I hope I’ll be able to transfer them when I get back to Sweden. The biology classes I chose are called “Human biology”, “Biological psychology” and “Biological anthropology”. School starts next week and then you can add and drop lectures until October 16th.
The excitement has calmed down a bit now, I’m feeling that I’m getting more used to this country everyday.
Izumi is working at a Swedish restaurant called “Lilla Dalarna” in Roppongi, I’m going to visit her soon and see what kind of Swedish food they have. I prefer Japanese food though!
My room is a mess, I have to start getting things in order and put up some pictures and poster on my walls. I have developed some pictures of my family and Lennart that I’m going to put up on the walls. They have many rules in Japan, one of the is that you can’t bring people in to the dorm…isn’t that crazy. It means that I can’t have my friends and family staying here if they decide to visit me.
I really want school to begin so I can start learning my 7th language! Hehe :)

Saludos Indra,
Ahora estamos empacando maletas pues ya mañana dejamos a Linköping.
Que bueno que tienes tu diario al dia. Así podremos saber un poco de tus aventuras y travesuras en el Japón.
Aqui la tia Birgitta es tambien algo asi como una japonesa pues tan pronto llega del trabajo se pone su Yukata que obtuvo cuando estuvo en los baños calientes de Yasuragi...
Bueno Indra vamos a ver si tenemos oportunidad de leer tu bloog desde Turquia ... si es posible pues estaremos siguiendote por medio del cyberespacio de lo contrario lo haremos a mmediados de Octubre.
Saludos y abrazos del tio Toto y la tia Birgitta
Hola!
Que lo pasen muy bien poralla, y estoy segura que la tia se ve muy bien con su Yukata!
:)
Hej Christofer! Vad kul att höra av dig! Hur går det med allt i skolan, du har en tuff termin framför dig...
Jag börjar skolan på måndag, det ska bli spännande! Tnkte köpa en Yukata innan jag åker men avvaktar eftersom det kan dyka upp något finare!
Ta hand om dig
