I am not even sure if this could be called an 'adventure' but the title sounds better that way. This is the second day in Japan. Had the assessment test today, and all the anime I watched so far has saved me a week. The language I caught up from it put me in the level next to absolute beginner. I believe I could have done better had I read my 'Teach yourself Japanese' book. Saw the curriculum that would be covered. I must say I am a bit disappointed. I have decided to get my 'Teach yourself Japanese' and do some studying on my own and try to shift to a higher level after two weeks. But I am not sure if I would be dedicated enough to do it. I feel sleepy already today, even before today's homework. Anyway, did some grocery shopping. But did not cook anything. Had an expensive strawberry short cake piece but it was worth the money. Went to a restaurant called Kitsutsuki(woodpecker) and had some good food(rice rolled in an omlet). The dinner was not so good though..went to this place called 'Bikkuri Donkey'. I did not know that it specializes in Hamburgers until I had been seated, showed a menu(completely in Japanese), explained that there was just very few dishes without beef. The only chicken dish was the 'spicy chikin' which was delicious. So it was not a complete disaster.
Florida felt a lot like India, with friends and many familiar faces around. I always liked and hated it for that. Today when it's just me in the 'shared apartment' of mine, I feel a bit lonely. But it's not bad at all. Wanted to experience the life of a foreigner in some foreign country and here it is with all its colours!
