Slight Break

Well, a lot has happened (well, at least a bit) since I moved yesterday but since I don not have internet yet I will update later. Apparently the entire school is closed today too, which means I can not use the international student center. Right now I am in an internet cafe that has everything (manga, pool, darts, etc). Quite handy actually. Well, while I wait for internet connection at home (might take weeks, sigh), the time between updates will vary.

Anyway, some things I noticed in Japan.
- While I knew that people drove on the left、still not that used to it. This comes up when I bike. The fact that people stand on the left while going up escalators feels different too.
- keys turn differently too. While in the US it is standard to turn the key towards the wall to lock it, it is the opposite in Japan. Not used to it as well.
- I HATE Japanese keyboards, the keys are in different locations and I can not type on these. I had literally close to one hundred typos just trying to write this entry. I will stop now so I don`t have to break something.
