Week 1

So I survived my arrival to Japan! Luckily for me it was nowhere near as traumatic as last time, and though it was slow... at least I didn't end up covered in maple syrup. I actually knew that I could have my luggage delivered to my share house, I knew the train lines and I still had my Suica from last time.

This isn't to say I didn't get lost trying to find the office for my share house. Luckily I managed to phone them 3 minutes before they closed, I must have sounded pretty pathetic because they actually came and got me. After all the documents were signed I was on my way to my new house... where I could not open the door. They gave me a key card saying it was for the house, and a key for the room. I kept flashing the card at what I soon realized was a doorbell. Luckily someone came and opened the door for me, apparently I was at the door for deliveries. I went to the combini to grab something to eat, and had forgotten to ask the person how to open the door. LUCKILY I accidentally pressed a button and opened it.
