Japanese, Japanese and more Japanese
I did well on my test today but everything else went bad! As I already wrote before I’m the worst student in my class and I really showed that today. My teacher had to repeat one thing six times and I still didn’t get it. Now I’ve got it though…
I have another quiz tomorrow and I have to do well to compensate my bad oral performance. I’m trying to think about the fact that I haven’t had any Japanese before and the others have. My teacher is nice and she tries to help me.
I haven’t told you very much about Shinjuku yet. I live in Nishi-Shinjuku, that’s about half an hour from Shinjuku station that is the worlds most trafficked station. Two million people pass through this station every day and in the mornings and evenings there is staff there to help pushing in people into the trains. Inside the station there’s hundreds of stores and restaurants. Sometimes you can even se homeless people sleeping there. We always meet at Shinjuku east exit in front of “Studio Alta” a very big ‘depato’ (department store) that has a huge flat screen with music videos and commercials. There are skyscrapers surrounding the station and behind one of the many skyscrapers you can find a Shinto temple. I went there and made a wish and I was surprised of how calm it was. It’s in the middle of Shinjuku but it was very quiet and empty. Beautiful.
I’ve visited Tokyo Metropolitan building and it had a great view of Tokyo. I’m going to publish photos as soon as possible (I’m going to get help at Waseda computer support tomorrow) because it’s hard to explain how big this city is.
I’ve also been to Ginza, Shibuya and Roppongi. Ginza was fancy, we went to a Sony store and they showed us the newest flat screens. It was amazing, you could almost think it was for real and not on tv.
I didn’t go to TGS (Tokyo Game Show) and I think it was the right choice, not really my thing. I don’t like tv/video games very much and I hate exploitation of women’s bodies so TGS is not for me. I read on Andreas blog and he and David seemed to have enjoyed it!
I have to study now but I’m thinking of you all!
